The human eye is enormous compared to a smartphone camera, and the retina is still larger than the 1 inch squared sensor he mentioned. What exactly are you talking about?

100MP IIRC - so not that enormous anymore compared with this sensor.

The nerves that connect to brain are impressive tho, the thickest in our body.

That eye size difference is mostly due to much wider field of view and adaptability to pretty close macro cases.
