    "The Retina display on iPhone ushered in the era of super-high-resolution displays. Its pixel density is so high, your eye can%u2019t distinguish individual pixels. The images and words are amazingly vivid and crisp. Everything just looks so real. In fact, once you see a Retina display, you%u2019re never satisfied with anything less. Yet it remains a feature found only on iPhone and other Apple products."

    I don't know how they can get away with these lies.

    It's partly true.  Except that it's only found on iPhone and Apple products.  HTC, LG and Sony all have true, full 1080p HD, full RGB pixel 400+ dpi displays on their new flagships...

    Obviously true.

    Its a trademark, and no one else is allowed to use the word.

    I didn't see anywhere that it was a trademark. And you can't trademark retina. Retina display at least.

    Ah ok. Still, them playing on words like that isn't very classy. The HTC one has a lot higher ppi.

    "ushered in the era of"

    Simply Apple is claiming that those massive 1080p phones are in the same era as their 3.5" and 4" phones.
    Obviously they did set that trend that has carried forwards.

    Minor quibble:  it was Qualcomm who created a way to fit LTE in everyone's thin phones, by coming up with a lower power all-in-one multi-protocol broadband modem.
