Sure if you stretch 720p out to a 50 inch TV screen you can see the difference but at 326 DPI an iPhone Xr screen has almost double the DPI of even an 8K 50 inch TV!!
If you think there is any need for more than 720p resolution on a tiny 6 inch phone screen then you have fallen hook line and sinker for the marketing bullshit!

I did wonder about this too. My iPad Pro 10.5, which I think is still the current model has 264 pixels per inch and I'm not aware of any lack of sharpness. My iPhone 8 and the new XR has 326 ppi. You do hold an iPhone slightly closer than an iPad, but I still can't imagine getting any benefit from a higher resolution?
The 720p type of measure is fairly meaningless, when comparing with a TV. It's ppi which (up to a point) is relevant. Just that point is somewhere below 326ppi to my eyes at least.
