Think big why not price it 3000$ im sure flocks of sheep will get it in line to buy it

That is a great point. iPhone ipx pixel arrangement puts it as sharp as higher oiled resolutions. It will need a bump in resolution to be as sharp as it was with ipx screens. This is why no one sees the difference between higher resolution on android and the ones on iPhone.

Thanks for knowing this fact. The rest are just ignorant.

And because of PenTile, it wasn't until the Galaxy S4 that Samsung displays looked as sharp as Retina, and then until the Note 4/GS6 that color accuracy was comparable as well. Since then, Super AMOLED has been the best in the biz.

You are the ignorant one, the iPhone X is 458 ppi, and the iPhone 8 plus is 401 ppi. So the iPhone X is below the current Android flagships, which all above 540 ppi with their OLED displays. Besides if you want to do VR or MR, then you need the higher resolution displays. But sheeple like you say things like that because Apple doesn't support VR/MR themselves. Why, because they know the resolution on all the iPhones has been total crap. If you want a bad VR/MR experience, then try it out on an iPhone. The other thing to remember is the refresh rate on Apples IPS LCD displays are too slow compared to the refresh rates of OLED displays. Not to mention Apples IPS LCD displays don't support HDR or Dolby vision.

Jesus Christ, do you even READ what you're replying to?

Sgodsell, Apple upped the resolution on the X exactlyforbthe same reason I explained - OLed uses pentile arrangement and would not look as sharp. If iPhone X is as sharp as predecessors - that’s perfect. Anything else is a dick pissing contest.

No one absolutely no one cares if iPhones are below android in resolution - ask anyone on the street. My iPhone 5s was sharp and so is my iPad 9.7 2017. Zero complaints about sharpness. The only reason you and your buddies complain is because 1: like you give a s**t what iPhone has, and 2: its one metric you have thats bigger for no needed reson at all.

That said, I was surprised Apple kept to the precise 326 ppi Retina pixel density when the iPhone 6 came out. I thought they would at least use a standard resolution like WXGA which would have been 330 ppi. Instead they picked the weird 750x1334 that nobody in the industry used.

It was as if increasing Retina pixel density even a little was somehow admitting 326 ppi was not the best.
