Well, it's about diminishing returns of course.
The point is, 60 hZ vs 120 hZ is a tiny perceptual improvement. Compared to brightness/contrast, for example.
The commenter I was responding to was claiming that refresh rate is a big, obvious point where iPhones are worse than Android even to non-techies. I'm saying it's not. People generally aren't even aware of it.
> I think the market data alone disproves this pretty conclusively.
I'd say it doesn't, because people continue to snap up expensive iPhones with 60 hZ displays...
I'm not arguing against technological progress in general, as you seem to be implying. Just that certain improvements are at the point where they just don't matter to most people.
