"Retina" is just as ambiguous as "High". Apple didn't invent anything with "Retina" screens so branding is pretentious, pixel density is just that: a number.

No. Retina means that you can't distinguish pixels at your normal reading distance. A number is meaningless without understanding the technology.

And I wouldn't downplay Apple's involvement in the Retina displays. Their prepayments allow for companies to do R&D/production.
