As a developer I really hope this means websites render at 480p so its the same as Android.

Chasing a higher ppi is a fools game. 350ppi is plentiful as it isn't Pentile.

Content, my nexus 5 fits more content on the screen when compared to the nexus 4.
Thin+Light is the new innovation these days no chance it will be similar to the 4s, and to be honest you get used too it, the Nexus 4 was similar too the 4s and had a nice heft too it and I really enjoyed that. First time I got the Nexus 5 and it just felt light and not as premium, but now I couldn't go back to the Nexus 4, it just feels unnecessarily heavy.
That has a bigger screen though? How does greater than 350ppi allow you to see more content?

Nothing to do with PPI, it has more pixels. if it had 720p on the same screen I would see the same content but just bigger, but since it is also 1080p it has more content.
e.g. if I move my laptop (rMBP) form rendering at 1440*900 to 1680*1050 I get more of everything on my page.
Does that make better sense, I don't care about PPI and other over marketed BS.
Eh? "Nothing to do with PPI, it has more pixels"??!
For a mobile device PPI is way more relevant when judging screens - hardly marketing BS. You'd probably think a 5in 4K screen would be amazing.

Eh? Someone is confused here...
Flagship Android phones as an example will allow you to see more of a website without having to scroll about as the resolution is higher than the iPhone 6. Is that easier to understand?
PPI above say 350 is a case of diminishing returns and only serves to marginally increase sharpness whilst exponentially killing battery life.
What's the point of seeing more of a web site if you can't resolve the detail because the PPI is too high? It's pointless, bad design and a waste of battery.
If iPhone 6 is around 350 ppi there is no point having a higher res screen for that screen size.

Shouldn't that be "too low"?
You can resolve the detail at quad HD when you're pushing >500ppi like the LG G3. Cannot see how you can say that isn't a good spec to have.
No too high - if the pixels are so small you cant see them what's the point? That's why Apple had to come up with 'retina display' so that people understand that PPI over a certain level is pointless because you cant see any more detail. All it does it waste battery.
This is really what Apple vs the rest comes down to though - 'designed usability' vs 'spec's in a box' IMO.

See you have been hooked into that marketing BS again, ill explain again.
Ill give you an easier example so that you might finally graps these simple concepts. The rMini and Air both have different (not the same) PPI's, but given that they have the same amount of pixels you get the same amount of content. Do you see how that works?
So again ill make the point, I don't care about PPI and other terms that marketing departments use. I just care about the amount of content that fits on the display, and this is why I would like more pixels, 1080p is a nice spot for a phone.
Either way I'm doing speaking with you now, your only here as part of Apple PR department anyways.

Just 1 question, so is the rMini just to tiny, do I need to zoom to use it?
I'm guessing you will say no given that it is something negative about Apple which leads to my second question.
The Air showing that same content only bigger is that the ideal way, should we maybe get more content to fill that 9.7" display, or do we need everything bigger for "usability", which implies the 7.9" rMini is not usable.

Text can be a little too small on the mini which is exactly why you wouldn't use that res on an even smaller device - which is EXACTLY my point.

So the rMini is a bad experience? and if you read I said QHD is stupid, I'm just showing that there is benefit to going high resolutions.

So pushing the technology envelope is a bad things now? Isn't that what Apple is renowned for?
As for the plastic boxes comment, the 5C is plastic isn't it?

I actual like that my Nexus 5 is plastic currently, unlike my macbook its nice and warm when I pick it up, is soft touch, have no real issues with plastic or metal, and they all have advantages and disadvantages.
