What these specs mean
Tablets live between phone and laptop — held at reading distance (around 30 cm / 12 inches) for books, browsing, and notes; brought closer to the face for video; and used as a drawing surface with a stylus. Anything above 260 PPI looks razor-sharp at normal viewing distance. Refresh rate shows up most in stylus latency: 120 Hz roughly halves perceived lag compared with 60 Hz. Panel type (OLED, mini-LED, LCD) drives color accuracy and peak HDR brightness — the deciding factors when creative work or HDR video is the main use case.
Apple uses the Retina brand for any display where pixels aren't resolvable at normal viewing distance; iPhone Pro and iPad Pro lines add ProMotion (adaptive 120 Hz), Super Retina XDR (OLED with per-pixel HDR), or Liquid Retina XDR (mini-LED with thousands of local dimming zones). True Tone automatically shifts white balance to match ambient light.
