[rumor] iphone 6s's benchmark, new resolution leaked?

[recoil80]

The difference is due to rendering at 2208x1242 vs. 1334x750, which means pushing far more pixels with the same hardware (=significant performance penalty). There is no performance penalty associated with downscaling from 2208x1242 to 1920x1200 because the integrated GX6450 GPU has dedicated circuitry to perform that function.

True.
So I'm ok with the Plus having 2208x1242 native resolution with more ppi on the screen while I'd keep the 6S with the same resolution to avoid performance penalty.

ugh. phone res should max at 1080p. anything more than that right now, is just a battery drain.

 

[MICHAELSD]

Plausible.

OLED displays at that resolution would be a killer feature for me.

 

[MICHAELSD]

Can someone explain to me why higher resolution is needed if it's a "retina" screen?

The higher the resolution the sharper it'll look and it'll retain the "Retina" effect if you look closer at the display.

They're going to call it the Cornea screen. You saw it here first.

Retina is just Apple's way of saying it is a 720p display instead of a true 1080p! Retina is Apple's made up word to use in marketing their products.

Have you seen the Retina iMac or Retina Macbooks? Not 720.

 

[MikesGravity]

Right, but if retina means you can't see pixels, then nothing should be able to look sharper.

Look at a 6+ compared to a 6, look at a RETINA iMac, look at a RETINA Macbook Pro. Not all the same at all.

Retina is just Apples marketing term for "good"

Why does no one ever talk about the fact that if Apple would speed up the slow animations, that alone would help speed up iOS.

...have you seen the homepage of MacRumors? Or perhaps Apple.com?

I guess he wouldn't ask if he did. Why make the world a harder place to live?

2001x750 is the iPhone 6 Plus resolution with "Display Zoom" enabled.

By pointing him in the right direction?

Dear Apple, also make few limited editions of 6S and 6S Plus with only 1 GB RAM for few of those special MacRumors members. For them 1 GB is enough.
