    Thanks @Patidou. What indicates that 264-dpi is correct? Could this relate to #1? What's the window.devicePixelRatio on that page?

    I found the value here : https://www.apple.com/ipad-air/specs/ and here : http://mydevice.io/devices/

    I don't use zoom.

    window.devicePixelRatio value is 2.

    Confirmed : iPad Air has a 264dpi/ppi resolution :

    @Patidou res detects CSS resolution. 1dppx equals 96dpi. devicePixelRatio equals dppx. 192dpi is correct per those relations. For Apple's advertised quantities to make sense, 264 must be physical ppi.

    20482 + 15362 = 25602
    9.7in * 264ppi ≈ 2560px
    

    @raphaelgoetter Using ppi as that header on mydevice.io/devices might reduce confusion. dpi/ppi looks like division.

    I have learned things. ;-)

    Thanks for the explanations and sorry for the noises. :)

    No problem @Patidou =) Retina hype adds confusion. I prefer to design by dimensions and not worry about dpi. Images look great on iPads regardless.

    @raphaelgoetter

    @Patidou : have you tried http://dpi.lv/ with your iPad Air ? What's the result ?

    @ryanve : thank you, I added a new column : "CSS ppi" in the tables : http://mydevice.io/devices/

    @raphaelgoetter by default, it's 192 dpi on… 13,3'' screen size. ;-) Wih the correct screen size it's 264 dpi. :)
