It's from 2014 and the launch was supposed to happen 'later this year'.

You can say what you want about Apple, but they're the ones pushing screen resolution on desktops/laptops up. We were stuck with 1368x768 for far too long.

I wonder what the battery life would be if iPhones were running 1024x768 (as my laptop is right now).

What the hell? Who can afford these things? I don't know anyone who can afford a 4K monitor, let alone an 8k one. It's still cheaper to buy like 5 standard monitors than it is to buy one 4K.

My Sony z3c is 1280x720. Battery lasts 3 days. I'm terrible at charging my phone. If I had an iPhone again it would be dead half the day.
