Digitimes also said Apple was prepping revamped iMacs, but has delayed plans for an updated "high-end model" due to "poor yields." Cupertino will instead focus on mid-range and entry-level iMacs, the paper said, but few other details were available.
Apple unveiled a 15.4-inch version of its MacBook Pro with Retina display at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June. The screen comes in at 2,880-by-1,800 and 220ppi, which Apple's Phil Schiller said makes it the world's highest-resolution notebook.
Apple is working on another Retina display MacBook Pro model, this time with a 13-inch display - and it could be with us as early as October.
A 15-inch version was unveiled by Apple at its WWDC event and has already begun shipping here in the UK, with a price tag of up to £3000. A smaller 13-inch version would feasibly lower the cost and make it more available to a wider audience.
An analyst has told AppleInsider that a 13-inch Retina display MacBook Pro will be marginally thinner than its 15-inch sibling, at 18mm thick, and will house Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics and an Ivy Bridge processor of two GHz.
Until such time as the cost of a Retina display MacBook Pro becomes more affordable, it’s difficult to see Apple retiring its existing lower-resolution display variants. Indeed, Apple used its WWDC event to reveal an upgraded version of both its exiting 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros.By showcasing the Retina display on the 15-inch MacBook Pro, Apple has demonstrated that it can be done and a 13-inch version would be a logical step. Yet for it to become the standard for all future MacBook Pros, we feel Apple will need to find some way of reducing the cost.
