Sigh.
A subset of human retinas can discern a higher pixel density, in the same way that a subset of the human population is capable of running the 4 minute mile. It doesn't make us all professional middle-distance runners.
The majority of people don't even have 20/20 uncorrected vision much less the ability to discern the pixels on a Retina display.
- hetman 15y agoSigh. That would be a nice explanation if it actually fit the numbers. That subset of human retinas actually turns out to be 75% of the population. As for average vision, 35% of people can see better than 20/20 with no aids, and once glasses/contacts are added this number jumps significantly. Apple's displays may well be termed true "20/20 displays" but calling them "retina displays" seems disingenuous.
