There is an ongoing effort, Project Metal, to redo a lot of back end stuff which could eventually support higher end graphics. Yes, the scenery isn’t perfect currently. But, literally the entire planet is modeled in a mobile app. To keep the app accessible for all devices of varying capacities, they can’t go all out for super high graphics that older devices simply can’t support.

Ok understand this and not asking for super high graphics jus something a little better…
Unfortunately, that really isn’t possible for the time being. Devices can’t simply handle it, though the new graphics engine will allow for our mobile devices to handle a little bit more.

This isn’t true - the ground scenery is simply satellite imagery/topography. It’s essentially google maps. There would be little to no end user performance hindrance if IF updated the imagery.
3D objects/lights is another story, however.

If only that was true!
Higher pixel density will most certainly have an impact on performance. A graphics card will have more work to do on a 1080p display in comparison to a 4K :)

The scenery looks pretty good from higher altitudes, although nighttime could use a bit more scenery ground lighting in my opinion.

I usually set the time to a night with a full moon. Lights up the ground a lot.
