My question is, what is a "Retina Display?" And, has it simply become a marketing term Apple is using only to sell more product? Also, What will they call the "new iPad" when its not new anymore?
Retina Display is designed to smooth the jagged edges of pixels are provide a higher-quality image than previously available on mobile devices. Apple claims that it's resolution is so good that it makes it impossible to distinguish individual pixels. The effects of the display technology are noticeable in many uses, but especially in text, where font edges are curves are substantially smoother than on previous display technologies.
Retina Display's image quality derives from a number of factors:
- A greater density of the pixels that make up the iPhone's screen
- Higher contrast ratio than previous models for brighter whites and deeper blacks
- In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology to improve viewing angles
- Chemically treated glass over the screen and LED backlighting to improve the quality of the image
That is the "Retina Display." XD - A greater density of the pixels that make up the iPhone's screen

Apple is unquestionably successful. It's the beauty of simplicity...

Magenta Girl must not do anything for ya! They were counting on that. All though it's off topic, I have to say the T-Mobile 4G Santa Workshop ad with all the little people was exploitative and creepy. I still have nightmares about it!!!
LOL.

Right. I wouldn't say Retina display is a marketing term though.
