===Computers and televisions=== *[[Dots per inch]] and [[Pixel density|pixels per inch]] are still used to describe graphical resolution with computers and printing. *[[Areal density (computer storage)|Data density]] for [[magnetic tape data storage]] is measured in bits per inch for density and bits per square inch for area density.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://spectrum.ieee.org/why-the-future-of-data-storage-is-still-magnetic-tape|magazine=[[IEEE Spectrum]]|quote=Combining these technologies, we were able to read and write data in our laboratory system at a linear density of 818 000/in. For historical reasons, tape engineers around the world measure data density in inches. In combination with the 246 200 tracks per inch that the new technology can handle, our prototype unit achieved an area density of 201 gigabits per square inch.|title=Why the Future of Data Storage is (Still) Magnetic Tape|date=28 August 2018|first=Mark|last=Lantz|access-date=11 December 2020|archive-date=8 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210108150035/https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/why-the-future-of-data-storage-is-still-magnetic-tape|url-status=live}}</ref> *Digital [[display size]]s are usually advertised diagonally, using inches, along with centimetres supplementarily. *[[Photographic paper]] are still sold with imperial [[Photo print sizes|print sizes]] across the world in metric countries.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bester |first=Danie |date=2018-10-16 |title=Standard Print Sizes |url=https://digitalphotographycourses.co.za/standard-print-sizes/ |access-date=2023-11-18 |website=DPC {{!}} Digital Photography Courses |archive-date=18 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231118222149/https://digitalphotographycourses.co.za/standard-print-sizes/ |url-status=live }}</ref> *The dominant [[Pin header|pin spacing]] for electronic components is based on {{convert|1/10|in|mm|2|abbr=on}}.
