=== Apple point ===

Since the advent of high-density [[Retina display|"Retina"]] screens with a much higher resolution than the original 72 dots per inch, Apple's programming environment  [[Xcode]] sizes [[GUI]] elements in ''points'' that are scaled automatically to a whole number of physical [[pixel]]s in order to accommodate for screen size, pixel density and typical viewing distance. This ''[[Cocoa (API)|Cocoa]] point'' is equivalent to the ''pixel'' <code>px</code> unit in [[CSS]], the ''density-independent pixel'' <code>dp</code> on [[Android (operating system)|Android]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Support different pixel densities |url=https://developer.android.com/training/multiscreen/screendensities#TaskUseDP |website=Android Developers Documentation |access-date=21 June 2022}}</ref> and the ''effective pixel'' <code>epx</code> or <code>ep</code> in Windows [[Universal Windows Platform|UWP]].
