DigiTimes, an Asian trade publication, has thus far published a bunch of speculative articles related to Apple’s future devices so you are advised to apply skepticism to their latest report calling for a Retina Display-capable MacBook Pro some time next year.
Actually, the publication is saying, based on “sources in the upstream supply chain”, that a next-generation MacBook Pro with a Retina-capable display sporting a 2880-by-1800 resolution could arrive in the second quarter of 2012:
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.
The report continues asserting that Acer and Asustek Computer also plan to launch high-end Ultrabook models sporting the 1920-by-1080 pixel resolution displays versus the 1366-by-768 displays typically found on todays Ultrabooks. The rumor might make sense as Intel’s upcoming Ivy Bridge platform supports displays with up to a 4096-by-4096 pixel resolution and is capable of decoding multiple 4K video streams at once. Lion also added support for 3200-by-2000 wallpapers, doubling icon resolution to 1024-by-1024 pixels and enabling HiDPI display modes.
