    People could post comparisons in this thread perhaps? Maybe a mod could change the title.

    Here's a comparison of the game "Aerox" (great game, btw).

    Obviously the first screenshot (non-retina) has been upscaled to the same size as the retina screenshot so they can be more easily compared.
     
  3. Problem gotta be considered though is these images will display differently on a computer ;)

    And how about on the ipod, the images are going to be small, and the details probably wont be that noticeable

    I agree that it's pretty misleading to show the full sized pictures like that. Still a noticeable difference though.

    I think the iPhone/iPod screen is a bit smaller than that?

    I just held my iPhone up to them and it's quite a bit smaller than those images.

    Of course it's going to be smaller, you're looking at it from a distance. In that case the difference in detail would be even less noticeable.
     
  10. It would be, blame the computer xD

    The best way to see tue difference is to go to an apple shop or a phone retailer and hold up your old gen next to the 4th gen and see for yourself.

    its impossible to show the true difference because nobody has a retina quality computer display
