It's weird because the iPhone 4 pioneered the "Retina" marketing and didn't need "Retina ready" websites. But I'm not sure about "High DPI" either. I feel bad for future customers who have to decide between (crappy) HD and (good) High DPI displays. There simply is no good term for "devices where one CSS pixel maps to four physical pixels". Then again, at least we don't need to worry about "High DPI" becoming obsolete in the same way as 16-bit "High Color" has. Or is there any conceivable scenario where we'd need higher-than-Retina DPI? Cyborg eyes? |

That's because webpage images in an iPhone 4 screen are resized to be smaller anyway (to fit), whereas in a 15" MacBook Pro you see them in their original dimensions but with half the detail of nearby fonts, hi-dpi images or vector assets.
