I'm a non-native English speaker, but shouldn't that read superior to , and I think you need a space after a comma. I read about this display on many news sources, why link from a site that doesn't even proofread the title?!

I wasn't going to mention it, but since you ask, yes to both questions.

As bigger screens become the norm for new smartphones, I wonder if we will see a 5" iPhone 5.

The UX experience/monitor size argument has been discussed many times, and the general consensus seems to be that Apple picked a 3.5" screen because it presents the most comfortable layout.

I believe Dustin Curtis was the first person to start that discussion: http://dcurt.is/2011/10/03/3-point-5-inches

"LG also claims that the high density of the display will make it impossible for the human eye to distinguish between individual pixels." Wasn't that already true for Retina displays? Maybe I'm missing something but why keep increasing the PPI?

That's not important, the important thing is that numbers have to be higher than Apple's, whatever it takes.

Is anyone else disappointed that companies are now trying to outnumber their competition instead of 'out-innovate' ?
