At a starting price of $799, the Apple iPhone 16 costs more than many flagships, but the 60 Hz OLED display cannot even outperform the screens of certain mid-range smartphones. This is not only due to the low frame rate.
iirc the display engines are built into the AXX chipsets. As only pro phones get a pro chip, Apple probably does not add the capabilities to drive displays at higher refresh rates to the non-pro silicon. So even if the display itself could go higher, the hardware to drive it is missing, not locked in software.
