UI elements are still rendered at 2x and then downscaled. It's just that you (or most people) can't tell the difference. Me neither.


However this decision does mean Apple can't produce monitors with more than about 200 PPI without the text being too small (at 200%). i.e. they can't go beyond 5K at 27".

Which is a shame, you can use 8K monitors with Windows at e.g. 300% just fine.


They can easily add support for rendering at 3x. iOS has supported that since iPhone 6 Plus. The only thing that's missing from macOS is a switch to turn it on, and produce all the UI assets at 3x.


Exactly.
