Yes, and to clarify (and with respect to the name, Retina Display) the resolution is so fine that the pixels can't be seen by the human eye. You'd literally need a loop, or a magnifying glass, to detect pixels. That's the breakthrough that Apple is promoting. .
Jobs' claim was that you wouldn't see the pixels if it was held 10"-12" from your face. Even that is bogus -- it would have to be more like 500 pixels per inch at that distance. I don't know who ever said you'd need a loupe to see the pixels, certainly not Steve Jobs.
