Well, I care, my friends care, it's something that many, many, many people care. Literally all of my friends that went to 5G (about ~20 or so?̊̈) all moved partially because of Youtube. (I and my friends hate to see any video in Youtube in 720p or lower.) There are a lot of people unlike you, and please don't assume that they all have the same patience that you can give to Youtube.

But you stated "need." What is the need for 4K mobile video? Can the human eye even discern the difference between 720p and 4K on a three-inch screen, or is it all social posturing?

  Answering my own questions here. I looked it up, and a human eye with perfect vision can't see better than 300dpi. So, no, unless you are an insect, you cannot tell the difference between 720p and 4K on a mobile phone. It's all just showing off for your friends.

  Why would you use a three-inch screen at all (when you are using 4G or higher)?̊̈ Well, iPhone XS Max is 6.5 inch, Galaxy Note 9 is 6.3 inch, Galaxy S10 Plus is 6.4 inch. Most phones used in South Korea are at least 5 inch or bigger. Korea's 1440x2960 counts 11.68% out of all smartphone users, 1440x2560 counts 19.03%. 1080x1920 counts 29.21%. That's 60% of all smartphone users. Then, there comes the need for 1080p/HDR mobile videos (think Netflix!).

    Most phones used in South Korea are at least 5 inch or bigger. Awesome. But the article is about the United States. Korea's 1440x2960 counts 11.68% out of all smartphone users 2960x1440 on a 6.5-inch phone is 506dpi, which is more than the human eye can see. So you're either a marketing victim, or trying to impress your friends, or both. I stand by my assertion that you don't "need" (your word) 4K on a phone.
