Resolution has very little to do with smaller text.

If it does, you're doing something wrong.

(It does improve legibility of small text, I'll grant you that)

Not true, the default settings on OSX on a retina display give you an effective lower resolution with higher clarity. I opt for the higher resolution with lower quality. It effectively makes your text, windows, buttons, icons, smaller.

So resolution has something to do with larger text then? ;-)

Anyway, on iMac Apple doubled the resolution (quadrupled the number of pixels) when they introduced the "retina" versions so there was no font size change.
