<p>Assuming iPad 3 (or whatever the next iPad is called) gets the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/09/ipad-3-release-set-for-march/">much rumored</a> and highly anticipated ‘retina’ treatment, the screens resolution would come in at a whopping 2048×1536 pixels. That’s an enormous amount of pixels for a screen that isn’t even 10″, and to help convey just how large that is comes an image from <a href="http://clkoerner.com/2012/02/09/what-does-the-new-ipad-screen-look-like/">clkoerner</a> that compares the rumored iPad 3 resolution to other common resolutions, including the original iPhones, retina iPhones, prior iPads, and a Blu-ray full HD 1080p movie.</p>

<p><a href="http://clkoerner.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/omgitsfullofpixels.png" target="_blank">Click here to see the full version</a>, be prepared to do a lot of horizontal and vertical scrolling. </p>

<p>As we’ve mentioned before, there is currently no Mac screen capable of displaying a resolution of that size natively, which will pose an interesting challenge for developers and designers to prepare artwork and apps for the next iPad. That fact combined with <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/07/high-dpi-cursors-found-in-os-x-10-7-3/">recent evidence</a> and rumors have led many to believe that Macs with high DPI displays may arrive soon after iPad 3 is announced, although this could be just wishful thinking. A refreshed Apple lineup complete with ultra high resolutions? Let’s hope so, we’ll be finding out soon enough.</p>
