Is the iPhone 5s considered a HD phone sinve it can get HD movies from iTunes?

If the movie downloaded is HD, it should play in HD.iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos

Technically though I believe that to be considered HD, the display has to be at least 720p, which is 1280x720. The iPhone 5s is 1136x640. The PPI is so high though that the picture is still extremely sharp and crisp, and you won't notice any quality issues with HD content.

Display has to be at least 720. The PPI is great for this phone because the screen is so small (don't murder me). So.... No, not HD.

There is no discernible difference between a true "HD" screen (one with a minimal 720p rating) and the retina display offered on the iPhone (because of the size of the screen). People will get hung up on the 720p minimal requirement for true "HD" specification, but for all intents and purposes, the iPhone's screen is very much high definition.

It's a 'Retina' phone

So retina in other words HD?

If you want to be technical about it, the iPhone does not have an "HD" screen.

If you want to base it on real world usage and visual results from looking at the screen...it absolutely has an high definition screen.

After owning a couple of HD Device (LG G2, HTC One) I can't tell any difference when watching a HD movie on my iPhone 5s, true that it isn't technically HD however with it's tiny pixels HD movies look fantastic.

When I got my 4s in June 2012 I thought this Retina display isn't so great. Until I out some reading glasses on. I was like WOW!!
