One reason Apple jumped straight to 264 PPI is to exactly double each dimension. This makes the 2x scaling beautiful.
(I'm repeating hearsay, but it seems intuitively obvious to me - feel free to correct me.)
- cageface 15y agoIt also means you don't have to change any code that makes assumptions about pixel positions. Like the retina phone, it just doubles the coordinates.
