Apple has done it!
The term “Retina Display” is the new 4G; just a marketing term.
From GDGT live report:
“There are 264 pixels per inch in this display, and that’s enough to call it a Retina Display. Why is that?”
“You may recall that with an iPhone held at a normal distance your retina can’t discern individual pixels. When the iPad is held at a normal distance [15-inches] it’s the same result.”
That’s basically saying the new iPad has to be held 15-inches away, if not Retina Display won’t be in effect. A lot if not an overwhelmingly majority of people hold the iPad closer than 15 inches.
I thus claim that my TV has also has “Retina Display” because no one can see the pixels when they are sitting at least 10 feet away.
