Display quality for my old eyes is not actually that important, reading from a normal distance I would not be able to see pixels no matter what phone is in front of me. :)

but can you see this pixel ?

Don't understand this comparison at all. Even if you held your phone against your eye your wouldn't see pixels at this level.



Ya it's actually the opposite, where display quality/pixel density gets more distinguished by people w/ exquisite eye sight (not me either =D)

It isnt about "seeing" the pixels. The more pixels, the sharper text and image quality, including color reproduction, can become. To the point where onscreen displays and paper print will become indistinguishable. And you don't need perfect vision to see the differences.

I believe I'm still on your ignore list - but I don't think anyone will need to zoom into such a level that they could distinguish pixels.

At normal zoom/reading level, pixels aren't discernible on the iPhone 5.

Having both the One and the iP5 (and being a display stickler), there really isn't much difference. I had to stare at both side-by-side to really tell.
