It's not just what detail the eye can see though, ..the higher the resolution the more that can fit on the same size screen. The XS has a slightly smaller screen than the XR but the higher resolution more than compensates for this.
Fit more what on the screen!? :

For me the reason I have an iPhone over an Android equivalent, is that Apple continue to support and provide software updates for the iPhone for quite a long time.

I'm using a iPhone 6s that is now 3 generations old, and it is still supported by the latest IOS, I get the same security patches everyone else gets. The same is *not* true with most of the Android phone, even the official Google something I had from work a few years ago when out of support about 18 months after I got it.

I think you have completely misunderstood how resolution works, it doesn't mean you can fit any more on the screen at all! It just affects the quality of what is on the screen.

No point arguing with someone who doesn't want to understand.

If you're comparing two screens of the same size but with different resolutions, the screen with the higher resolution (that's the one with more pixels) will be able to show you more of what you're working on, so you don't have to scroll so much.

Do you understand ?

The resolution makes no difference to that whatsoever!! You can change in the settings how large you want the fonts and icons to be!

Crikey, you really don't know what you're talking about!

Look, change the amount you can fit on screen from settings, same phone, same resolution!

Yes we all know iOS has a zoom and standard setting .. but if you think resolution makes no difference at all to what's displayed on a screen I give up

I do get his point mate.

There are 2 perspectives to look at this form.

1) The same image/data on the screen. But it is higher quality on a higher resolution screen. (I know it's not technically the same image then, one has more pixel detail than the other) This is like watching SKY sports in SD and HD.

2) if you keep fonts the same eg something simple like Ariel 8pt, due to the nature of a screen with higher resolution, you can fit more physically on the screen. For me I see this on (young!) people with better eyesight than me in their laptops. They just have so much mini print information on a single screen.

@teaston I think you're largely referring to point 1 which I feel the same about in some ways. I'm not too fussed about high detail images on what it to me a medium/small screen handheld that borderline has better resolution already than my eyesight can detect.

Does that make sense, sort of both right bit different scenarios. Of course a higher resolution screen and in OLED is better but for some users it doesn't really need to be.

But a 435d is better, faster and more awesome than anything else on the road (and off road too). RWD is old fashioned and petrol is only 20% efficient compared to diesel being 87% efficient.
