Seems that the important question has not been answered. You may want the iPhone to have the same quality as print, but why? Is iPhone competing with magazines now? Do Apple customers want that, and would they be happy to pay for it?
Probably... the brand and marketing is so strong Apple could probably reduce the resolution of the screen and charge more for it. The fact that its the new iPhone would be enough to make up for it.
- runevault 17y agoif they're going to push the iBook platform on the phones, they'll want as high quality of text as possible to get people who have the phone but not the iPad to buy books still, giving them their %, instead of buying through Kindle (though obviously you can also use the Kindle app... hm)
- stcredzero 17y agoThe Kindle app is much, much better than iBooks. If it weren't for my need to use iBooks for free EPUB files, I'd have no use for it.
- sketerpot 17y agoIf you use a really high resolution screen for a while, every lesser screen looks bad in comparison. It's the expectations ratchet.
- stcredzero 17y agoI've been using my iPad (overgrown iPod Touch) more than anything else. Now my iPhone screen just looks ridiculously teeny! (Especially the keyboard.)
- mhw 17y agoAgree. I wouldn't have entertained switching from my previous or current laptops (1400x1050 and 1680x1050 pixels respectively) to a 15" MacBook Pro with a lower resolution screen. The recent refresh suddenly makes them more tempting though.
