So much hyperbole and obfuscation, so much buzz about things no one actually needs and don't even know they want until they're told so; yep, smells like the imminent release of an Apple product...

High resolution screens are the next big thing in computing. And as a graphic designer and illustrator, I'm incredibly excited to see them start rolling out to the masses. Reading, adjusting fine details on-screen, and eye strain will drop significantly with these screens. You may not give a shit about it but there are plenty of us who are eagerly anticipating this stuff. Apple should start rolling this out to their Mac line in the next six months. Anything that improves the working experience is a huge boon to me.

Oh, I care. Just not on screens that tiny, HD res and up are pretty much wasted on small screens unless you want to zoom heavily or do deeper editing, in which case you're probably working on a desktop computer with a big monitor or a powerful laptop anyway.

I know that people love Apple products, I just never understood why. They're not the best on tech, not the best on quality and certainly far from the best on price but they are brilliant salesmen and could probably peddle sand in the Sahara. No mean feat.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, I don't even own a smartphone and I don't want one either!

Dude, you have that completely backwards. The smaller the screen, the more you need a higher ppi. You hold a phone screen 12-18" from your face. You hold a tablet about 24" away. A desktop sits 24-36" away. The further back you are, the lower ppi can be. That's why your HDTV and its terrible ppi is still acceptable.

Youre right, Apple isn't the best in tech but they're near the top in quality. Where they DO thrive is making their shit work in a way that doesn't drive the average user insane. Pick up an Apple device and you're doing what you want in seconds. Considering how terrible many software companies are in this regard, THAT is no mean feat. Hating on a company is just stupid. Especially when that company drives tech forward as much as Apple does. No company has even come close to their level of innovation in the last decade.
