Das Maximum des menschlichen Auge's ist eben noch nicht erreicht. Alles darüber macht dann zuerst kein Sinn.
"The real number is closer to
nine hundred pixels per inch from 12 inches away. Apple’s Retina displays are only about 33% (300ppi) of the way there.
It’s true that many people with poor or average eyesight, an iPhone 4S display held from a mere 12 inches away might appear indistinguishable from a True Retina iPhone with triple the pixel density. Likewise, it’s true that some people with a Retina MacBook Pro, from two feet away, might not be able to tell the difference between that and a True Retina MacBook Pro.
Some, then, would argue that this is all pointless. Hyper-resolution for hyper-resolution’s sake, aimed at a small subset of anal retentive individuals lucky enough to have above average and even perfect vision.
Such an argument is faulty.
For one thing,
no one sits a uniform average distance away from their devices.
When you text on your iPhone, you might hold it at twelve inches, but if you’re squinting at it in the middle of the night to answer a phone call, you might hold it six inches away. And while you might write an email on your MacBook Pro at 24 inches, you might lean in on the edge of your seat during an exciting movie or game to closer to 18.
The truth is our devices suck us in as close as we can be to them. And if our displays are ever going to reach their ultimate form — living paper — they need to have
enough resolution that we can zoom in to see more detail just like we would with a piece of paper: not by pinching or zooming in with your mouse, but
by getting as close to the screen as we can get.
Imagine the day when you can pull out a magnifying glass to check out a picture on your iPad, and instead of seeing pixels,
you see a whole world of perfectly resolved detail that you didn’t even know existed.
But there’s another reason why everyone should care.
Back in 2010, Japan’s NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories discovered that across the board,
the smaller the pixels, the more real an on-screen object seemed to the person viewing it, even if they didn’t have perfect vision. In fact, this effect is so profound on individuals that it eventually reaches a point where you have
pixels small enough that on screen objects are completely indistinguishable from real objects.
That is the future of displays: screens so perfect that FaceTiming with a friend is visually indistinguishable from having a conversation in person with them, where watching a movie is like peering out a window to another world, and where playing a video game is like having a real-life adventure. That is why we need True Retina. And that is where Apple is ultimately going to take us."
