Will an iMac ever have the screen resolution of an iPhone?

If the 27" iMac could get above the retina curve on that graph, it still wouldn't be iPhone-like-retina unless it could get a PPI of 300 or more.

It would at the right distance. The whole point of the graph is to show:
a) Your phone and your computer isn't (and shouldn't be) at the same distance from your eyes.
b) The different distances allows a lower PPI to look just as clear.

I understand the point of the graph, but end of the day, you need a PPI of >300 to be truly retina from ANY distance. I'm not always 2+ feet away from my iMac screen.
