iPhone 11 Why iPhone 11 is still a "720p" phone?

The 11 has a great display, some people (PC and Android users) are driven by specs, resolution, CPU’s ram etc. Yet no Android phone comes close to the performance of iPhone. It’s always like this when you have a generic OS. You NEED loads of ram, cpu etc to run it, which encourages sloppy inefficient coding which causes the cycle to continue.
While i agree with some of your post, the OnePlus 7 Pro easily matches the iPhones performance in everyday use, that 90hz display is amazing.
You forgot to add, this opinion is in your opinion.
Yes Android is a proper OS that people can code for whereas iOS is locked down and you can only build apps out of the commands Apple gives you permission to.
RAM is cheap so putting in 8GB+ is no problem and allows things like multitasking, whereas Apple is so obsessed with its profit margin they will milk you for every GB of RAM/storage and every pencil tip. Even if that means "Pro" iPhones barely have enough RAM to run their new camera system properly and Apple can't even get Deep Fusion working on its crippled resources yet.

Not everyone needs customization. Also, i never feel locked down when i use iOS. I like Apple and their iOS for their amazing Privacy & Security (Google sells your data, and there is loads of malware in the Play Store because Google doesn't check the submitted apps) and also you get many years of software updates. I love how hardware & software matches. Something that you will never get with Android.
I had the 11 for 4/5 days, the screen was fine, brighter than my X and looked just as good next to each other
However, the one time I could see a massve difference was of an evening with dark mode, my X has those true blacks you constantly hear being spoken about, where as with it being LCD the 11 didn’t
Only returned the 11 due to size

Resolution, 1080P is a meaningless spec if you don't consider screen size, and viewing distance.
What is the PPI?

I think that was just a bad rap due to Samsung's crappy Pentile.
The Nintendo switch plays 720 in mobile mode and people still buy it in the millions. It’s fine for gaming indeed. As is 1080p on the big screen TV if you’re far enough away.
Viewing distance matters.
As has been stated multiple times on this forum many don’t see them in regular use. I had a Axt for a while myself and the screen looked like equal or better than my 8+. There is better stuff available with Apple of course, just get the Pro.
jees, who sucked the jam out of your donut? Android is a thieved os and is held together with duct tape. iPhone piss all over every android phone in both cpu and GPU performance primarily because android is the bastard son of linux. Dunno why you are here anyway trolling, you should be in the non Apple device forums.
I am also complaing and I have a pro max. I would never and I mean never drop $700 on a 828p phone. If I had a choice, I would go 8 plus or 7 plus which has telephoto also and 1080p lol

The placebo effect is strong with this one.
Physics don't apply to everyone. They didn't do a test on me so do not tell people what they can't and can see
So you think the screen on the Max is worth $400 more? A lot of people don't, including myself. A lot of people would never, and I mean never, drop over $1000 on a phone.
I think HDR content, dolby vision,stainless steel, double water resistance, telephoto lense, better LTE and callling, matte back, better battery and charging brick is worth it. The screen alone is worth the $300 value
No the human biology applies to you. The physics applies to the display.
you are not special.
The physics says the XR/11 screen is only comparable to retina resolution at >11 inches. So if you hold the phone 10 inches away and can't see the difference the problem is your eyes.
Everyone could have the same problem but different systems. What your body can take my body may not take it. What can kill you might not kill me so don't come with no science to prove a point to me. Humans are different in every way
And unfortunately for you, your eyesight is so good that a lower resolution display is unacceptable. Thankfully, there are choices. You can choose to spend more for a better display. Others can choose to spend less for the 'substandard" display that they are perfectly fine with. There is no right or wrong. Everybody wins.
Personally for me; if I had to choose a phone other than the pro max, I would go 8 plus or 7 plus because of the 1080p screen
