but all I want is a small bezel and this is going in the opposite direction of that

likely has to do with the fact that you can't actually see a difference between those numbers of pixels on such a tiny display and most people would rather have a couple hours extra battery life than a display that isn't even possible to see that its better

"which is lower than the 1080p HD display in Samsung's flagship Galaxy S5 and less than the projected 1334x750 display that Apple may use in the iPhone 6."
Such an odd resolution. Why not just do 1920x1080 and be done with it? Youre going to force developers to work anyway. HTC One from last year had a 4.7 full 1080p screen so I know its possible. Its not needed but the LG G3 will have a qhd display (2560x1440). So Im really surprised if Apple goes with that resolution.
