What is the Right Answer on Retinal Display?
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad" @ 06:00 AM
"Apple's Retina Display included in the iPhone 4 has caused quite a stir this week, including claims that Apple is misleading consumers. However, a vision scientist contacted by The Loop says Apple has it right."
Haven't read too much about this dispute, as it appears to have died out but this is a pretty interesting article on the retina display on the new iPhone 4. It started when a post by Wired quoted Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate Technologies. Mr Soneira said that "the math just doesn't add up. Retina display is a misleading marketing term."
William Beaudot of Kybervision says not so fast in his blog post, and states that "it is actually quite accurate based on a 20/20 visual acuity." Anyway, if you are interested at all in this, it's a pretty thorough and technical explanation of what it all means.
