Hell, short of first gen screens, almost all phones have retina displays. I can also read it in full daylight, something the non-s-Amoled screen users can not say. In my book, that beats any claims for high-res out there: "oh, your screen is gorgeous, too bad you have to run for shade to see it!". Yeah...For the repair shop owners: prepare to be sued into oblivion by Apple's minions. They will find some legal grounds to do that. They sued God for rendering the forbidden fruit in the shape of an apple AND they have a patent for a basic geometric shape. This case should be piece of cake for them.[/citation]
On most phones, I personally can make out the individual pixels - but not the iPhone 4S. Perhaps you have bad eyesight? The retina display is based on a person with normal eyesight - not you personally.
I have no idea why you are talking about a) phones or b) reading in daylight, since pretty much every phone lets you do that.
If we refer it back to the iPad - the screen gets brighter when the ambient light is brighter, and works perfectly well in daylight. Combine that with a higher resolution and you have an industry leading device (if they make it to these specs). The AMOLED screens have worse performance when the screen is at an angle, not so good if you want to watch something on your iPad with friends/family.
Guessing about Apple suing the repair shop is just trolling.
