Again, I tell you: hunt-the-pixel is a poor way of describing human perception. Color gradients, smooth curves, glyphs… the eye can pick out irregularities in all of these better than it can hunt out specks.
Even if that was the limit of human perception, contemporary studies put the limit of speck-discernment at considerably higher than any phone screen on the market now.
So it is wrong both in detail and in theory. Is doubly wrong not enough to call the term meaningless?
And finally, I don’t blame Apple’s marketing department for doing marketing for Apple. I find it dismal that people who aren’t on Apple’s paycheck do, however.
