Comment on Conjecture Regarding Larger iPhone Displays

Comments

I think now that retina is widely adopted, Apple no longer needs to worry about 2x, 3x, etc.

Even if the phones are 1.457x or whatever, I bet iOS8 will just do its best to scale elements as needed- Since the resolutions are so high already, a scaling error of a fraction of a retina pixel is totally not noticeable.

Wat?

For a photo it can be acceptable. Not great, but acceptable. For UI elements, it is horrible. Smudgy, blurry edge makes no one happy.
