This is in contrast to most other phones which only have 16bit displays. The current Lumias are also only 16bit. What makes it double worse for the lumia (most windows phones in the wild actually) is that their poor resolution and PPI do not mask any dithering applied to hide the colour banding.

Isn't Maemo 16-bit as well? AFAIK, Symbian isn't limited and uses 32-bit.

32 bit puts more stress on memory requirements. the frame buffer has to be twice as large, if n9 is 16bit and iphone 4 is 32 bit, then the display type is more important than pixel bit depth. cuz the n9 kicks iphone 4 in colors and brightness. in flesh. not to a microscope.

The N9 does not beat it in brightness and If the N9 was 16bit it will not beat it in colour. It beats it in things like black levels. I believe the N9 is 24bit anyway according to its specs sheet so it's the same as the iPhone in that respect.
The memory requirements do increase but not to unacceptable levels since the resolution isn't that high. for 16bit it will be 0.781MB, 24bit is 1.17MB.
Edit: just saw your edit. yep N9 is 24bit.

The N9 display runs on 16 bits color depth. I don't know if the hardware would be capable of more, but the software is set to 16 bits.

if too detailed is function of distance, Why did jobs not mention that? it seems just like a marketing mumbo jumbo than anything, just like everything else with apple.
to help sell 50mil Apple has created an ecosystem of followers that are probably also their investors, that sell their product for them by giving them great reviews and losers go out and buy them. e.g. reviews.cnet.com/best-camera-phones/
the n8 is not mentioned.
also why does Nokia give you 64GB for $99 more and apple only 32GB. They are ripping you off.
