I turned on the Android switch to show the refresh rate in real time:

How do we show that variable refresh rate in real time on iOS devices?

You can't.

You're answering the question all wrong for this kind of newsgroup.

The correct answer is never "you can't" but "not needed & nobody wants it."

Silly Google puts it in all their settings just to clutter up the user interface, which is why an iPhone UI is so uncluttered and simple to use.

There have only been a handful of Android devices that have been able to
go down to 1Hz, and I doubt of they include the ability to view the
refresh rate. You need the Samsung LTPO display to be able to do this,
and it is the display in the 13.

nospam is wrong of course™ when he states "versus competing devices that
are always at maximum speed" since there are many other devices that
change the display rate to save power. There have been a lot of phones
that automatically switch the refresh rate between several preset values
(30, 60, 120, and in some cases 144 Hz). Only a few Android devices can
go down to 1Hz like the 13 Pro and 14 Pro.

manually, yes.

not a lot.

apple pioneered the ltpo display technology needed for a variable
refresh rate display, first seen with the series 4 apple watch. since
then, only a handful of android phones use it.

10 hz for the iphone 13 pro, 1 hz for the iphone 14 pro.

What rate are you saying can't be displayed on all recent Android phones?
Every recent Android phone has that OS setting to show the refresh rate.
Are you on a very old Android that doesn't yet have that display setting?

what possible benefit is there for an end user to know the

based on the currently content, as well as various other factors

What possible benefit is there for a vehicle driver to have a speedometer? The speed readout is constantly changing based on current driver actions.

As so often you miss the intrinsic difference.
