The biggest beef that people will have with the iPad Mini (other than price, that is) is that it doesn’t come with a pixel dense Retina Display. It’s the only new iOS device—iPad 4, iPhone 5, iPod Touch—that doesn’t have one. But it turns out, its screen is still much better than the iPad 2 because its pixels are smaller. Read More >>

If your eyes are blessed with looking at the pixel dense Retina Display MacBook Pro, you'd know the scorching ugly hell of non-Retina optimised Mac apps. It's so awful—way more scarring than non-retina iOS apps—that you wouldn't want to use those non-Retina apps anymore. So here's how to find all the apps optimised for your MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Read More >>

John Herrman over at Buzzfeed FWD astutely points out that all of the flaws of cameraphones (noisy sensors, poor focus abilities, artifacting, etc.) are being exposed now that we have large screens (both in size and resolution to display our images on). Going forward, is this enough of a reason to make you go back to carrying a proper, standalone camera? [FWD] Read More >>
Now that the high-resolution retina display has hit the MacBook Pro, it's almost certain we'll see a retina display on a MacBook Air sometime in the future. But what will these displays look like? GDGT thinks it knows. Read More >>

Last week, the gadget surgeons at iFixit got their hands on a new MacBook Pro with retina display, and promptly disassembled it only to realise that it's going to be basically impossible to repair on your own.

Having just dumped a load of new models on the world, Apple left out the 13-inch MacBook Pro from its Retina Display upgrade, much to my dismay. According to new rumours, Apple is working on a Retina 13-incher, it just hasn't released it yet. Read More >>

Masked by all the buzz around the new super thin Retina Display MacBook Pro, one of the workhorse Mac family got quietly snuffed out. The video producers favourite machine on the road, the 17-inch MacBook Pro, is sadly no more. Read More >>

It seems Apple's just started approving Retina-ready apps ahead of WWDC this coming Monday. At least one app, FolderWatch, has made it into the Mac App Store with "retina graphics", pretty much screaming that we really will see Retina Display Macs next week. Read More >>

With WWDC just around the bend—Apple's keynote is next Monday—it's time to face the usual torrent of leaks and dribbles and rumours and lies.

Cramming a QXGA display with a resolution of 2048x1526 into a device as small as the iPad might seem like an impressive accomplishment. But Forth Dimension Displays have managed to squeeze that same number of pixels into a display that's smaller than an inch. Read More >>
It's iPad Day! Hurray! All your favourite iPad apps, made retina-displayable! Hurr — not so fast. If what Instapaper godfather and iOS dev guru Marco Arment says is true, we might be waiting just a bit longer before we see many retina-caliber apps making their way onto the new iPad. Read More >>
