Can you tell the higher ppi difference?

The interesting thing about displays is the human factor. We truly see what we want to see. Our eyes can find flaws in anything if we look long enough, we also confuse things like color temperature, contrast, and brightness. Low light contrast vision is almost off the charts to keep us be being eaten by lions at dawn or dusk.

Here is a funny story. We would take line workers and put them in dark rooms to look for image flaws. In the first hour or so, they would find too many problems. After 8 hours they would find no problems. The longer we gave them to look the more they would find.

It was quite a balance of making them wait when they entered the room before they could fail imagers...how much time per imager we gave them....and how soon we would need to pull them out.

You can see the same thing here every time apple puts out a new iMac.

Looking at them both in the Apple Store, the only difference I could see in sharpness on the 6+ display was if I held it absurdly close to my face (like 6-8 inches). At the normal distance I hold my phone, they both looked pretty much the same, other than maybe absurdly small typeface (e.g. a desktop website zoomed out completely).

I was referring to your contention that the 6 has a better contrast ratio than the 6+

Better is relative but its on apples website under specs it does have a higher contrast ratio 1300:1 6+ and 1400:1 6

But how do you know the 6+ is bigger than the 6

Anybody able to compare it to the LG G3's screen? A friend of mine has the G3 and it is absolutely beautiful.

I'm using a 6+ now.. And its panel looks identical to my iPad Air screen.

It's a thing of beauty ain't it.

Enormous difference between my iPad 2 and iPhone 6 plus.

Between iPhone 5 and 6 plus? Not really as far as pixels are concerned. They're right when they say the human eye can't really tell past 300. I can't pick out pixels on the 5.
