With Apple’s entire family of iOS devices now kitted out with high-resolution Retina displays, it’s time for the Cupertino company’s Macs to get the same treatment. We’ve speculated about Retina display MacBook Pros for some time, but there’s been little mention of a high-resolution display for the iMac.
But fear not. Those of you with a love for Apple’s all-in-one won’t get left behind when the Retina display upgrades begin their rollout.
ABC’s sources didn’t mention what the desktop may look like, but according to recent reports, it will sport a whole new look that is both thinner and lighter that its predecessors, with anti-reflective glass displays from a company called G-Tech.

Our retinas will literally melt!
I don’t even see the need for such a high resolution to begin with. But I would suspect this simply isn’t going to happen on a desktop. Too many apps out there would be virtually unusable due to the tiny GUI size unless they port it to the new resolution.
That’s what full-screen apps are for.
Well, the bigger the display, the further back you’re supposed to sit. 217ppi at 27″ is overkill. I’m pretty sure the iMac already almost reaches that retina number.
