At some point screens have to hit the 'good enough for most people' point just as processors did.
Apple has apparently concluded that the 'good enough' point is x2... if that's true, it makes sense that they're not building devices above retina density if there is little quantifiable benefit to 99.9% of end-users. Atleast until the tech becomes much cheaper.
- ZeroGravitas 13y agoIt's really lucky for Apple that the "good enough" point happened to exactly coincide with double their old pixel densities (plural, since they had two different densities on the iPad and iPhone), almost unbelievably so in fact.
- antimagic 13y agoThat's... uh pretty disingenuous as an argument. The "good enough" point didn't have to be exactly the current densities, it just had to be less than the current densities... If the "good enough" point wasn't achieved with a doubling of the pixel resolution, Apple would still have doubled the pixel resolution, because exactly doubling brings a whole load of advantages from a technical or graphical design point of view. It's just that a few years later there would be another doubling until "good enough" had been surpassed.
