Another leak points towards 120Hz ProMotion displays for the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max
A reliable source, if there is no accident, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max have basically determined the maximum 120Hz refresh rate.

So, for instance, it will go from 60hz to 120hz when a user is scrolling and go down when static content is being viewed. This would conserve battery life, which is a major concern with phones that offer a high refresh rate.
The iPhone 12 will probably not come with LTPO panels
That is the difference. LTPO can switch from 1Hz to 120Hz while ProMotion can only switch from 60 to 120. The power savings can be significant obviously from 60Hz to 1Hz.

The iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max will probably only be able to switch between 60Hz and 120Hz.
So, to ensure that the higher-end iPhone 12 models are able to keep up with the ProMotion display and 5G, Apple is expected to equip them with bigger batteries. The iPhone 12 Pro will likely have a 4400mAh cell inside, which is around 500mAh more than the battery in the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The Pro variants are expected to have a stainless steel body, 6GB of RAM, and a triple camera system with a LiDAR depth sensor. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max, on the other hand, will likely have an aluminum design, 4GB of RAM, and a dual-camera setup.
