Actually, there was a very bad edit there on my part. I meant to continue that Apple has created confusion due to scaling their UI - I started in on HiDPi, how inconsistent they are even on their own devices. But quickly forgot to go back and correct my edit.

But you're right. I'd call @2X and @3X a somewhat dirty hack that is pretty damn bad. The original iPhone fits in the space between icons on the iPad Pro... not exactly what I'd call "optimal".

But how many licensees would want to create another 960x540 phone? Answer: none.

Yep. That's why Sailfish OS 2.0 exists - that's no longer the limitation.
