Some people can still discern jagginess, if not necessarily individual points, at 400 PPI.
Be thankful you are not one of them, so you can save money and still be happy with less expensive displays.

Jaggy display on an iPad Air 2 ? That's beyond ridiculous....
How was the life on Kripton lately, Superman ?
What in the world are you on? The Air 2 display has obvious jagginess for many people with excellent near vision.
I'm in a world where I'm a professional whose eyesight is being checked twice at year.
And there is no obvious jagginess in an iPad Air display...
A 9.7" isn't supposed to be watched from 5 cm ... or your excellent near vision will vanish in a very short time
Obviously. That's why they saved 3D Touch for the iPhone 7.....oh wait...
3D Touch, for me at least, isn't something that's easy to accidentally activate like Siri might be.mi'd rather Apple not clutter up settings even more for something that most likely a very small number of people would toggle off.

AppleInsider again copied the Kuo rumors from their reliable source, what a bunch of fools. It's so funny to see: Kuo rumors posted -> AppleInsider comes with the exact same story from their own source within minutes. This shouldn't even been posted on MacRumors.
I concur with your feeling; it sounds as bad as Undo on the iPad.
Whenever I plonk myself down with the iPad, up pops the Cancel/Undo window because of the movement. I wish I could turn it off. It's such a stupid thing. As if anyone shakes their iPad to undo. And just another example of how unsuited iOS is for the iPad.
watching the video again of '3D Touch innovation' on Apple's site, Phil in the video mentioned it was "dynamic" and while they use senors to detect. its' still dynamic, which means it can change..
Why is this technology not scale-able? It's just senors is it not? or is it just the fact its would be too expensive, and Apple would rather choose a cheaper path. for larger devices?

Funny you say that, I've recently been told I use my iPhone too fast lol. Reminds me of "you are holding it wrong" and now, I'm selecting it wrong too. Hilarious. By the way, I do use it all the time, unlike you, and since iOS 3.
So, I wonder, if I'm using it wrong, are all these people using it wrong too?

Well it kinda does. If they can't put 3D Touch in an air then they can't put it in the pro which only leaves the mini. And I can't see them skipping the pro and air a generation while the mini supports 3D Touch.
i don't see use for 3d touch, or the logic. its to big to hold it and even to make a pressure with your finger on the ipad pro or air
think about it, with one hand you hold it and with the other you must touch and press..not so easy, probably Apple will think to use some a more light pressure for the ipads

Since the different force-options for a button are hidden from the user, and can be different in different apps, it's actually a terrible user experience. I've yet to see where 3D touch makes sense outside a computer game.
What about this ?
![ipad-pro--center.png]()
Now each icon takes up 50% of another icon that could be there instead. Why not just have more icons per row?
No it hasn't at normal distances and I'm holding one RIGHT NOW.
If you put it at a few inches from your face, then maybe that's the case (if your eyes can focus at that distance).
Jagginess could come from how diagonal lines are rendered and not just resolution BTW.
This is why anti-aliasing exists.
You do know how news works right? Newspapers, blogs etc. report on stories reported by experts or people in the field. Kuo is a widely recognized expert and his views are subsequently reported by all main rumor sites. Macrumors does not have the capacity nor the network to perform the kind of analysis that Kuo does. It is legitimate that they report on this.
3d Touch functionality is of course very much welcome but I think Apple needs to bring on these long delayed, much-desired features into an iPad Mini/Air once for all:
- all the default apps that come with an iPhone like Calculator, Stocks, Voice Memo, Compass etc
- Low Power Battery Mode (the most egregious one)
- Display Zoom View
- Reconfigure Grid in Home Screen to a denser system of icons, 5X6 or 5X7 even.
-Bring more RAM for better smoother game play. 2GB is really, really...[fill in the blanks yourself]

Well, that's strange. I still do think the people that complain are just not really used to the way it works on the iPhone 6s. Because, again, it works perfectly fine on mine. In fact, I'm getting more used to it than ever before. Problem is, I simply don't always need it. Only use it when I do a typo or when I want to copy a specific part of the text. If I want to select the whole text I use the 'old' way, which works much quicker. It's simply a tap and immediately I swipe to the end of the text. That's it, there's nothing more to do.
But for selecting a specific part 3D Touch does the job pretty well actually.
Yes! It's the only reason to hold back cutting edge technology. To give your competitors a chance to beat you to the market. How else does Apple keep from being first?
True. However, in my view, they could further differentiate the desktop view. It got huge unused spaces between icons, what is ok for 5.5 inch display, is not for 12 inch display. Perhaps the icons size could be adjusted (clock, calendar, weather), whatever, to make it live and useable.
it's gotta be the pencil. God Please, let it be the pencil! I don't want the bloated Ipp, but I WANT the pencil!
I personally think the current resolution of the iPad is definitely sufficient for a tablet.
I find it somewhat amusing that some people say that the existing 264 PPI iPad display is not sharp enough when more than 40% of all iPads currently in use don't even have a retina screen.
In the past Apple has concentrated more on user experience rather than talking up specs on iOS devices so I think there's a reasonable chance they'll keep the resolution as is.
The top three things I would like to have in the next iPad are LTE band 12 support for T-Mobile, more RAM, and possibly a weight reduction. It would be nice if they could get this guy under 400 grams (if you've ever held a Galaxy Tab S2 then you'd know what I mean).

I can't think of any gee whiz features on my laptop updates, just speed. why different for an iPad?
you're not supposed to upgrade annually.
Nope. maybe in web images that aren't optimized, but I have excellent vision (perfect, no glasses, etc) and there aren't jaggies at normal use distance.
