How is the iPhone 7 plus going to have the best display?

Resolution is only 1 small factor on how "good" a display is. And they're 2560 x 1440 Quad HD, nowhere near 4k.
yes and even if they did say it I would agree with them, the display is impressive
Yeah it's like I need every day to watch at my phone screen with x10 zoom just to be happy with my 4532k resoultion.
4K on a mobile screen? wtf
apple are referring to the actual mobile screen, it has significant advancements similar to the iPad pro.
No, they did say best display on any smart phone.

I'm fine with it still being 1080p, was slightly disappointed it isn't True Tone though.
Not the biggest fan of OLED for phones personally. Spectacular in the right conditions - had a Galaxy Tab 7.7" years ago with a SAMOLED+ display, was awesome - but still pretty lousy outside. Will have to suck it up next year I expect, assuming next iPhone is indeed OLED.

4K is pointless on an iPhone display. Unless you're a fraction of an inch away from it and can somehow focus your eyes from there you won't see any difference. You want the camera to be able to capture 4K, but putting that many pixels in the screen gives you zero return. The more interesting upgrades in screen tech have to do with wider color gamut. So-called "HDR displays," which is what the iPhone is (kind of) getting.
Yep, and even in normal mode, the colors still pop more than on an iPhone. Part of the reason is that blacks are pure blacks since the pixel just turns totally off. The Samsung screens really are quite amazing. There's a reason Apple is rumors to be moving to OLED next year.
The iPhone display will never look as good as QHD AMOLED displays.
The latest rumors are pointing more toward micro LED, but the idea is the same: deeper blacks. More accurate colors. Wider spectrum displayed.
You're right, I was thinking of something else. During the keynote I remember hearing "best ever!" (wait what??) "on an iPhone" (oh okay, that's more sensible). Now I just don't remember what that was. I thought it was the display. My bad.
We all know the Galaxy screens are better than iPhone screens. I'm a big Apple fanboy I can admit but facts are facts.
I thought it was true tone. Rumours and announcements getting muddle up in my head lol
Well, although they never said it was True Tone, I still kind of assumed (stupidly) that it was, until I read that it definitely wasn't. Bah.
Not a huge deal, it's definitely nice on the iPP, but a very subtle "nice" rather than "omg can't live without it".
