Maybe it's the regular vs Pro lineup. I never had any experience with the regular lineup. I've bought my wife a 14 Pro, and the experience there is the same as on mine.
Pro is 120hz.
But they are expensive as heck. I only got the 16 Plus because its a carrier loss leader, heh.
And wouldn't fix some of my other quibbles with iOS's inflexibility. My ancient jailbroken iPhone 4 was more customizable than now, and Apple is still slowly, poorly implementing features I had a decade ago. It's mind boggling, and jailbreaking isn't a good option anymore.
