      Guessing: when the image is not being updated (you’re reading an article and not scrolling, you’re looking at a photo, etc), the display will change the referral refresh rate to 1 frame per second, which will drastically reduce power consumption.

      That’s how it works on other devices that have this feature, at least.

    Some Android phones do it too!

  It adaptively regulates the refresh rate down to 1hz to save energy, it’s like an LTPO panel on a phone
