Perhaps not the same size but close enough. I doubt that you can go from
10 point to 5 point just because the underlying pixel density is four
times greater. You might be able to go from 10 point to 8 point without
straining but you're still upscaling which means you're wasting much of
that alleged "improved definition". Marketing buzzwords like
"revolutionary" and "retina display" don't change basic geometry.
