the numbers shown compare video, streamed, versus video downloaded. this is specifically an improvement on video streaming. i don't see where this theory that variable refresh rate would make a difference would come from.

there may be variable refresh rate differences! i just don't think that's what this comparison is highlighting.

People are comparing between the 13 and 13 Pro which get the same battery life for audio playback. There are very few other stated differences between them.
