Geek Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/macbook-pro-retina.jpg" alt="MacBook Pro with Retina Display rumored for 2012" title="macbook-pro-retina" width="571" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24861" /></p> <p>Apple is rumored to be working towards releasing retina display equipped MacBook Pro’s in the second quarter of 2012, according to a new report from the Taiwanese trade publication <a href="http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20111214PD204.html">Digitimes</a>. Citing upstream component sources, the displays are said to be 2880×1800 pixels and become yet another competitive advantage for Apple’s portable lineup:</p> <blockquote><p>While the prevailing MacBook models have displays with resolutions ranging from 1680 by 1050 to 1280 by 800, the ultra-high resolution for the new MacBook Pro will further differentiate Apple’s products from other brands, commented the sources.</p></blockquote> <p>Earlier in the fall, Digitimes also suggested that <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/14/macbook-air-15-coming-in-2012/">a MacBook Air 15″ model</a> would be released next year, but there is no indication that it would carry the same 2880 x 1800 pixel display.</p> <p>Hints of Macs with retina displays have existed for a while now. Earlier in the year, we pointed out that wallpapers in Mac OS X Lion <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/04/08/mac-ipad-retina-display-3200x2000-pixels/">are 3200×2000 resolution</a>, greater than any currently shipping Apple hardware. Additionally, many icons in OS X Lion <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/04/24/high-resolution-icons-in-mac-os-x-lion-further-hint-at-mac-retina-displays/">are 1024×1024 pixels</a>, double what they were in previous Mac OS X releases.</p> <p>Finally, persistent iPad 3 rumors suggest the device <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/22/ipad-3-with-retina-display-and-an-ipad-mini-7-8-to-be-released-in-2012/">will feature</a> a retina display. One could guess that for Apple to release a retina equipped iPad, there would also have to be Macs with equal or greater screen resolutions available to adequately develop retina iPad apps on. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WXn7DzmxIGtmU9LfpXd5nbw6qBE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WXn7DzmxIGtmU9LfpXd5nbw6qBE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WXn7DzmxIGtmU9LfpXd5nbw6qBE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WXn7DzmxIGtmU9LfpXd5nbw6qBE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=bYUDUXWllfA:6H2i1-Tn-3M:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=bYUDUXWllfA:6H2i1-Tn-3M:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=bYUDUXWllfA:6H2i1-Tn-3M:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=bYUDUXWllfA:6H2i1-Tn-3M:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=bYUDUXWllfA:6H2i1-Tn-3M:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=bYUDUXWllfA:6H2i1-Tn-3M:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=bYUDUXWllfA:6H2i1-Tn-3M:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/bYUDUXWllfA" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
