The mobile version of Minecraft Bedrock is always maxed on 60FPS. This prevents the capabilities of a smoother experience on higher refresh rate devices (ex. iPad Pro M1 120hz). Instead, higher hertz devices end up having a choppy inconsistent 60 FPS, which feels less smooth than an actual 60hz device. On 90hz devices, 60hz isn't evenly divisible by 90hz, so it pretty much guarantees a choppy feel for the game. Though for some reason (based on testing on a 120hz iPad Pro, which is evenly divisible), 120hz also feels choppier than a normal 60hz device.
Ways it could be implemented:
Because not every <60hz mobile device is capable of higher FPS for MC, I think it should be an experimental option (Maximum Framerate). It should be a slider like in Java Edition, though the highest the slider should go is the detected refresh rate of the mobile device. I think the default option should be adjusted at 60FPS based on hardware limitations for specific <60hz devices.
PS: I'm aware that there are resource packs that do have a maximum framerate slider, but it does not work, as something other than the data in options.txt is limiting the framerate.
If this report seems like more of a suggestion than a bug, let me first explain something. There are suggestions for this already for a long while now, but nothing has changed in the slightest ever since those suggestions were made. Also, it is somewhat a bug because it is a limitation based on outdated code (I'm pretty sure that's why) that prevents anything higher than 60 FPS.

This issue was primarily made to notify (if not already), the devs. If I were to create a suggestion, who knows if it would have ever been seen by any higher up. There is no indication anywhere that this problem will or will not be fixed. You can mark it as invalid, but at least do something more than just deleting this report.
This sums it up (but nothing has happened in the last 2 years): https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360061484772-iPads-should-support-120Hz-refresh-rate-and-support-for-more-input-devices
For me, it seems like there's no real way to make change for minecraft bugrock. None of my bug reports have been fixed yet, which makes me very frustrated, and disappointed. Doesn't this pretty much defeat the purpose of this website?
Yea, delete this comment or whatever because it breaks the rules, I just hope you understand how frustrating this is.
Thank you for your report!
