[–] JBiserkov 14y ago ↗ Please add [2007] to the title. [–] snitzr 14y ago ↗ You're right. But I can't edit it now, too much time has passed.
[–] TrevorJ 14y ago ↗ For reference, the iphone4 has a 264 dpi display so we have come a long ways in the last few years since this article. [–] JBiserkov 14y ago ↗ GSM Arena [1] shows it as 330 dpi, calculation seems to confirm it:x:= 640 / 330 => 1,(93)y:= 960 / 330 => 2,(90)sqrt(x^2 + y^2) => 3,496 inches1. http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_4-3275.php [–] TrevorJ 14y ago ↗ Good point, thanks for adding this.
