Right. I'm saying that in the context of the Plus version of the iPhone it would then at least be something like Retina Full HD or something like that as it wouldn't be quite the same as it wold be for the non-Plus version (which is still HD, but not Full HD).
I guess. But its still 100% on the OP for not even reading the tech specs. But Apple is not wrong in claiming they are both Retina HD, because they both are. One is just better. But they both meet the requirement.
Next time do home work. Since 6 Plus already like that.
This year is the 3rd year already Plus Edition is more than Full HD but no plus edition only more than HD.
Apple claim both Retina HD and nothing wrong on it as both pass HD resolution.
You can't blame any as this is really really old thing. 3 years already.

Of course it's on the user in the end. And yes, Retina HD is applicable to both, although it would be more correct and appropriate to be something different for the Plus given that it is in fact different/better.
Translation... why should I have to think for myself? I'm entitled, aren't I? That's what I have other people for.
I didn't read the entire thread but these are my thoughts:
1. Why didn't you preview the device before purchasing? I would have expected you to go into the store, grab a demo unit, and review the display/camera.
2. Review Apple's website and compare phone specs. Maybe even go back over the iPhone 7 keynote reveal as well.
3. You should have a 15 day window to return the device. If you missed this window, you really only have yourself to blame.
Some folks have buyers remorse on a bloomin' house purchase and you wont pay $35 to reverse the situation on a $700+ phone
I'm sorry, with respect, but I question your thought process.

As far as the screen resolution Apple is very upfront about it it's printed in the specs on the webpage. The quality of your photos however won't be affected by the fact that the screen resolution is less.
I would do the $35 restocking fee but Sprint is making it dang near impossible to exchange. I love Apple so much, or I wouldn't be griping!

Hi
Has something changed since you said on Wednesday "I'm not going to pay a $35 restocking fee that Sprint requires for a simple exchange"...apart from time.
Forget about the iPhone, I'd think an Alien would have access to a far superior camera then what we have here on Earth. I'm sure your Alien phone takes waaaaay better pics than any Sony..?
I'd hardly call finding the pixel density "serious research". It's pretty common knowledge.
The smaller iPhone does have a higher contrast ratio so colors/blacks/whites pop ever so slightly more. Though I do prefer the higher-density display on the 7 Plus the higher contrast is noticeable.
I can feel for the OP. Everyone here saying to do research, in under apple's own page has much info on this. Should amoerson really have to go to a third party page to buy something?
That said, there are easily accessible text units st Apple stores, Best Buy, carrier stores, etc. so while you may not intuitively find a spec sheet to compare, you can get the product in your hand pretty easily.

Among people here, maybe. I present to you my mother who doesn't even have a concept of data. To her an email is the same as a picture is the same as a video. Some of the stories my wife tells me from Best Buy are excellent too. I think calling pixel density common knowledge has having far too much faith in consumers. People buy what they are told is better along with what fits into their budget.
Resolving what issue? It's simple, pay $35 and return it. It's cut and dried. No issue about it.....unless there's more to the story which it sounds like it is.
I'm not saying everyone knows the ppi, just that it's stated almost everywhere online where specs are listed and it wouldn't take "serious research" to find.
All their resources go to anal probe technology advancement. Nothing is devoted to camera tech.
The Plus has always had a 1080P screen and the standard phone a 760p screen. It's very well known. But the 7 and 7 Plus have been reported as having camera issues in forums. Hopefully Apple will fix them with software updates?
I'd bite the $35. However, I'm also frustrated. My reason is that the 7+ is not like a slightly improved 6s+. Unlike with the 6s and 6s+, the 7 and 7+ have different amounts of RAM now too!
Not just a better camera, but more RAM. It's pretty much a forced hand to buy a bigger phone even if you like them smaller, if you are a techie or enthusiast. Which is probably why they sold out of the 7+ and it's still back ordered in some places.

The point of purchasing from Apple - or at least one of the points - is that Apple could be "trusted" to do much of the research for you. If you went to an Apple store requesting the phone with the most bang per buck in display and camera functionality, the "genius" types would direct you to the appropriate hardware. If you have to do all the research yourself, then yes, get on Google and read extensive reviews of the top of the line phones available and choose accordingly.

Hmm. To compare Apple to the generic "car dealer" is not quite the nuance you are looking for - car dealers range from low end used car salesmen to the high end dealers of Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and the like. I would tend to trust the high end folks a bit more than the used car dealers - the high end car dealer has a lot more to lose in terms of brand reputation if he/she makes an underhanded sale, and the customer has a lot more to lose moneywise. Apple has somewhat tainted its high end reputation the last few years. "Caveat emptor" is horning in a bit in customer land.
I don't see apples reputation being tarnished, but I guess to each their own.
With these days of instant on-line reviews, all car dealers can take a big hit in trust, not just high-end dealers. But how many Ferraris are sold vs Toyota Camry? Caveat emptor applies to anything you buy. Know what you are buying.
Apple cannot do your own research, determine how much memory, ssd, how many gig, what size, what model. You have to know what you are buying. By saying things like "apple can be trusted", which yes they can, but they can't crawl inside your brain and thus the blame-shifting.

Would your mother care about pixel density? Or to her would the overriding feature of a phone be comfortable to grip and easy to use. And if it's not the highest spec phone on the spec sheet, that would be okay?
When you buy a car, if you care about performance, do you take the sales persons word on it, or do you do your own research? Someone who claims to be a digital photographer in 2016, should care and know about pixels and densities and resolution and depth of field and all of that stuff, and this is just screen resolution, nothing to do with the final product.
