Thanks to the Retina display, everything you see and do on iPod touch looks amazing. That’s because the Retina display’s pixel density is so high, your eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. Which means images in games, films and photos pop off the screen. Text in books, web pages and email is crisp at any size. And everything is sharper. No wonder it’s called “cutting edge”.
More wow per inch.
Behind the screen of iPod touch, there’s some serious technology going on. By developing pixels a mere 78 micrometres wide, Apple engineers were able to pack four times the number of pixels into the same size screen found on earlier iPod touch models. This many pixels packed this close together — 326 per inch — make graphics and text look smooth and continuous at any size. Prepare to be glued to the screen.

LED backlighting.
The Retina display includes LED backlighting and an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen for the best viewing and battery life possible. So you can focus on more important things. Like destroying aliens.
