1. An apparatus comprising:
a display device;
a memory; and
a processor system coupled to the memory, the processor system configured to cause the apparatus to:
determine a first frame rate based on a characteristic of a first application executed on the apparatus;
obtain first rendered application content based on application data from the first application, wherein the first rendered application content is generated at the first frame rate in synchronization with a first number of display refresh cycles, each display refresh cycle being based on a physical display refresh rate of the display device;
deliver the first rendered application content to the display device at the first frame rate;
display the first rendered application content at the display device implementing the physical display refresh rate;
determine a second frame rate based on a characteristic of a second application executed on the apparatus, wherein the second frame rate is different than the first frame rate;
obtain second rendered application content based on application data from the second application, wherein the second rendered application content is generated at the second frame rate in synchronization with a second number of the display refresh cycles;
deliver the second rendered application content to the display device at the second frame rate; and
display the second rendered application content at the display device implementing the physical display refresh rate.
