New iPad Screen Resolution Update Demystified

This conversation between @dannysullivan and @parislemon provides the simple explanation of what the new iPad's screen resolution increase provides.

  1. what surprises me more is on higher res computer screen, you see more real estate. not so for me yet. but maybe because apps are standard?
  2. @dannysullivan it's because the resolution has been exactly double. that allows apps to be twice as sharp with 4x the pixels w/ same sizes.
  3. @parislemon so sharper images, not more real estate, right? i'm trying to get the new twitter app to load now
  4. @dannysullivan exactly. That's why doubling the resolution is key. Everything stays the same size.
  5. @dannysullivan if they did it the old PC way, everything would be tiny and hard to click/see. But yes, you'd have more screen space.
