I'm not quite sure what you say is true. Apple Notebooks have 224-254ppi, the external displays 218ppi. The only higher ppi displays from Apple are on the iphone, and they are not special, most decent (android) phones from 5 years ago have 400ppi+. Funnily Apple was dragging their feet in this space back then. Apple is more consistent, but it really isn't hard to get 4k laptop displays now.

> Funnily Apple was dragging their feet in this space back then. Isn’t that in part due to Apple being slow to adopt OLED along with its unusual subpixel arrangement which requires higher ppi to look good.

  Not really. Mainstream Android phones had high density OLED and LCD displays before iPhones. For example, by the time of the iPhone 8's 326 PPI, LG had the G6 with a 564 PPI LCD.

    My LG G3 had a 538ppi IPS display and it is from 2014, 9 years ago. Now that I think about it, smartphones have stagnated a lot.

      806 ppi for my Xperia XZ Premium from 2017

    ...and Openmoko phones had HiDPI screens around the time of the 1st-gen iPhone.

  No matter the ppi, UIs still look worse on an OLED compared to an LCD. Simply because they don't have pixels arranged in a grid, and UIs have lots of straight lines in them, those lines will always look fuzzy, even if just a little bit. High-density "retina" LCDs, on the other hand, render straight lines extremely crisply.
