It’s pixels per inch. Nothing to do with quality, certain PPI values qualify it as “Retina” for Apple.

PPI is the relationship between resolution and screen size. Nothing to do with quality. This is why a phone or laptop with a 4k screen is ridiculous.

CORRECT! Together they both make "quality".

This circles back to my previous comment about Apple having weird ass displays and having them downscale their images with the iOS software!
