OK, no offense to the people who are complaining about how Apple hasn't done anything with the screen but here goes. Here's some questions that I have for those people...
If you have answered "no" to the first question and "yes" to the last two questions then why are you complaining about the screen? The screen is good enough. The whole Android ecosystem has been pushing the idea that you need to have higher and higher resolution screens and for what? This is what I don't understand. There comes a time where you reach the point of diminishing returns and if you ask me, many Android OEMs have not only reached that point but they blew past it at Warp 9.
- When you take your phone and move it really close to your face, can you see the pixels?
- Is the text, regardless of all small it is on the screen, still clean and sharp?
- No jagged edges?
You kids and your high resolution screens, my God, I remember CRTs. Hell, I remember monochrome monitors as well. I remember the very first add-on graphics cards, EGA. And you know what? We liked it!
Hey kids...

High resolution screens are great and all (I don't doubt it) but if you don't have the GPU power behind them to be able to sustain high enough graphical frame rates, who cares? I certainly don't! If you have been reading some of the stuff regarding the new Galaxy Note 7 many people have had to drop the resolution of the display to 1080p (or worse 720p) just to get acceptable frame rates in games. Hello! That's a problem!
Not only that but many people have been saying that to get any kind of acceptable battery life they need to drop the resolution of the screen as well. Again, that's a problem!
In my opinion I'd like to have a lower resolution screen that's good enough (I find the screen even in the 6 Plus to be good enough) and have acceptably high frame rates. Who cares if the screen is high resolution if it looks like you're watching stop-motion animation on the screen when you're playing games?
Thanks guys for excellent posts. I TOTALLY agree .
