Spot on. He's clearly too smart and too critical to love all his products as much as he pretends. He can probably tell you thirty things he would fix about the 4G iPhone. (Or you can just wait until he releases the next version.) The mark of an innovator is perpetual dissatisfaction.

I don't know about that. If he worked for AMD/ATI or nVidia, he might have gone bonkers, as the innovations over the previous ones seem so intangible, since the platform is basically an incrementalist arms race: benchmark scores, umpteenillion transistors, superthreading. The mobile market could have been the same, but Steve Jobs stepped up the PR game. It is unlikely, but not impossible, that the people in the graph…

But there is an achievement; the pixel density surpass the resolution of average human vision

And how many Apple users (let alone Steve Jobs) consider their perception to be merely "average?" ;-)

"Average" was misleading and a poor choice of word: most people if not everyone. I do not have statistics about human vision, but I take this guy's work for it: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2010/06/10/re....
