[QUOTE="Worf, post: 87662, member: 1047"] Its very unlikely that Apple will bother with the PPI war - the screens end up costing more, take more power, and in the end, most people just won't see the difference between the current 326 ppi "retina" and whatever higher resolution you have. And that doesn't include the cost of actually driving the display (more pixels == more CPU and GPU required). For most people, to see the full 1080p of new Android phones, I bet they'd have to hold the phone right up to their nose. Any further and the 441 ppi of those displays is wasted. It's just the Android guys have latched onto another number they can "improve". Like screen sizes going from 3.5" to 6+", we now have displays going from pathetic to unseeable. [/QUOTE]
