He actually says "I'd say that Apple has built a beautiful smartphone that works well, adds impressive new features and is still, overall, the best device in its class". The tone just seems different from the submission.
Got a chuckle at this (he's talking about the "retina" display) - "I don't know how it compares with the human retina, but I do know that, just as Apple claims, text on the screen shows no jagged lines, even when expanded to giant size"
Yuk yuk. I picture someone zooming into a fractal, desperately trying to get to the end. Mossberg is hardly the first person who has exploded a vector graphic (in this case fonts) looking for the pixels, as if it demonstrates something about the display.
- Gorgias 16y agoI don't think he was talking about zooming in a vector graphic. I believe he is saying that the physical pixels on the screen are so physically tiny that he can not see the individual pixels.
- ergo98 16y agoHe said "expanded to giant size" referring to text. If he meant "taking a digital image and expanding", well you barely have to expand it at all before you can see the pixels. He was clearly talking about actually enlarging text.
- Gorgias 16y agoYou're right, I was wrong. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
