‘So to speak’ ? Yes it can. A retina (individual pixels are indistinguishable to the naked eye) display is perfectly possible, Apple have managed to fit a Retina display in the larger iPad (3rd & 4th Gen) and in the smaller iPhone 4, 4S and 5, I wonder what limitation Repair Labs think they’ve discovered ?

>**Repair Labs // found // the iPad Mini’s pixels are much smaller.”****”And when compared to the Retina Display iPads, the iPad Mini’s pixels aren’t that much bigger. Repair Labs says: The iPad mini is where things get interesting. Its smaller size necessitates a few sacrifices, and the Retina Display (at this point) simply cannot be made to fit the new small chassis, so to speak.”****”But lo! The difference between the 4th Gen and the mini is not that huge when examined under the microscope. In fact, the pixels of the Retina Display are only 2/3 the size of the iPad mini. In the older iterations, the pixels of the 4th Gen are ½ the size of the older versions, or .50.**<

No, this is wrong. The pixels in the 4th Gen (and 3rd Gen) iPads are a *quarter* of the size of the pixels in the 1st and 2nd Gen iPads – not a half. This really is basic stuff, Gizmodo get this wrong time and time and time again.

Imagine a cake, you cut it into four equal pieces – now Repair Labs (and vicariously Gizmodo) might think each of these four pieces are half the size of the original cake, but the rest of the world would describe them as being a quarter of the size of the original cake.

And the pixels of the iPad's Retina Display are *not* 2/3rds the size of the iPad mini's pixels, they are nowhere near 2/3rds of the size of the iPad mini's pixels.

The rest of the article is similarly full of shit. Hopeless stuff.

Cannot be made? What? I thought the iPhone 5 had a Retina Screen with a much smaller screen and chassis.
