It's 99% identical except iOS font rendering uses greyscale AA instead of subpixel AA in order to support orientation switching properly.

It's been mathematically prove that you can't have good font rendering unless your DPI is higher than what's currently sold on mainstream machines including retina laptops.

Serifs are fine on screens as long as you've got a high enough pixel count. The only reason computer-optimized fonts were ever different from print-optimized fonts is because up until recently, screen detail levels relative to print have been abysmal.

Now that non-potato screens are starting to become the standard, the age-old, finely-tuned, and battle-tested guidelines developed for print are becoming relevant for on-screen text as well. Given another decade or so there will be no difference between screen text and printed text.
