How do you activate Retina Display on the iPhone 4??

I felt bad for my original post, it's just there, there is no switching res there is no activating it.

 

Make two circles with your finger as you do a screen shot. Make sure its counter clockwise or it may brick your phone...err clockwise. Dunno , one of those, I'm sure

 

The iPhone 4 has a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels. You cannot change how many pixels a screen has, they are physical objects.

both answers are dum you can't bring the resolution down. but you still get great battery life

 

I came into this thread thinking it was a troll. For the love of god I hope you are kidding OP...

 

I agree

 

Actually, it'd be super cool if you could switch between resolutions. Instead of the zoom feature, they could have done that instead.

 

Why would you want to switch to a lower resolution?

 

Because we have old eyes and have a hard time looking at anything 1000+ without putting the device up to our face.

 

Seriously. After having my iPhone 4 for so long, I can't stand to look at a 3GS's screen or a 3G's, everything looks blurry.

 

There was a post just like this one yesterday I think. The OP was joking in that one. I was so sure this was the same post until I saw it was posted today.

If you want to change resolutions just switch back to your 3gs.

 

So you're basically saying that we can't have new technology just because we have weaker eyes?

 

On the iPhone, everything is the same size on the retina display as with the previous iPhone screens. It is just clearer now.

 

No he's saying... if you want a lower resolution, go back to the 3GS..

 

this thread is great LOL

 

Ok,well since we have that all cleared up I have a seriouse question. Since I have 3G and I only use less than 1 G a month, can I cancel my contract and still use my other 2 Gs until they run out?

 

The guy asked a simple question, that is all.

To the OP, dimming your screen might help with the battery life. You could also lock the portrait view so it doesn't move all over the place when you're on Safari or whatever.

 

Then it'd be called EDGE. the iPhone switches between 3G and EDGE, depending on what is available in the area.

 

That was the worst part of ditching my IP4 - ...going back to Lite-Brite resolution....

 

Yeah, I can't look at my MacBook Pro the same anymore.

And I was trying to be nice about it. Nothing worse than asking a question only to get a "durrrrr" response. We're human afterall.

 

HAHA @ the OP!
