Quote: "i dont do, especially on mobile systems where you nearly dont see a difference because of limited screensize. the accu-times get shorter and shorter and shorter and... the surplus isnt worth it, just to say "more res than you, atschibäähh." you can simply counter with: "mine runs 4 days, yours just 1 before you have to reload again, not being mobile anymore."... while mobility should be the main reason to buy these products. "
Nope. Nearly don't see a difference? - anyone with at least 1 functioning eyeball can instantly see the difference between retina and standard displays. My ipod touch compared to my iPhone4, worlds apart. The bottom line is that Apple are about the only company trying to deliver higher resolutions. Having super-crisp visuals adds a lot to any mobile computing experience... as Phaelax says, try going from a 480x320 display onto a 960x640 display then back, the difference is huge.
With Apple products, I feel that they are making multi-purpose kit. If we want long battery life, we get a Kindle and only charge it once per month, if we want quality mobile games and apps we get an iPad, and deal with the battery life. I don't think we need to burdon these devices with huge batteries, not when there's no issue with charging them up for most people. For everything else that Apple gear offers, most people don't have an issue with having to charge them. Say iPhones only needed charging every 2 days, would that make a big difference? - or would people just plug them in when they get home regardless.
The main issue is that people seem to think Apple customers are all idiots, as if they aren't aware of the issues because they are just buying an iPhone or iPad to look cool. That idea needs to change, people really can't go on with that point of view - it encourages companies to let their hardware go stale... we need innovation and improvements, don't hate on Apple just because they're making an effort - instead, question why other companies aren't. For instance, how come HD is so damn low res, and how come high-res monitors are still rediculously expensive. HD seems to have gotten really cheap already, it's not even a solid standard, and it won't last. Maybe Apple should designate the next big 'format', give companies something to aim at instead of denying technology in favor of profit.
