aren't both of these sample images scaled down? Unless one sees the actual raw screenshots (640x960 and 320x480) one can't really tell if there are inaccuracies or not.

Also, if the @2x version has 1px features then these will definitely become blurry when scaled.

I think the point is both are displayed as 320x480 but one is designed specifically for that resolution whereas the other is just shrunk.

Even so, when held at arm's length I'm doubtful of how noticeable the differences are.

I know of no-one, tech or non-tech, that holds their phone at arm's length. Most hold their phones much closer.

Pixel fitting can be very powerful, and can make certain things look much sharper.
