There are quite a few standard denominations for resolution : ★VGA, ★XGA, Q★XGA etc. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_display_resolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_display_resolution for the whole collection.
And then there is the ★HD family : nHD, qHD, HD (720p), FHD (1080p), QHD, QFHD (4K), UHD... Those are established and provide a somewhat logical progression from HD.
But then I may just underestimate Apple's need for branding and the prevalence of NIH at the marketing department.
- sliverstorm 14y agoVGA/XGA/QXGA is good technical denominations, but good luck marketing an abstract acronym. "HD" works as a marketing term because, somewhere along the line, everyone knew it was short for "High-Definition". I consider myself a techie, and even I didn't know that "VGA" was "Video Graphics Array", and "XGA" is "eXtended Graphics Array". Nor would those phrases mean anything to the layman, even if they did know.
