The end of non-Retina displays is still approaching

Display

Apple surprised the world with retina display on the iPhone 4 five years ago, and since then everything has been good news for lovers of Retina displays. It was adopted by the iPad, the iPod Touch, the MacBook Pro, the iMac, the MacBook, and finally the Apple Watch as well. This movement of eliminating pixels from our field of vision is destined to reach all products, and for this we must gradually eliminate those that remain with standard density screens.

One less

The latest to fall has been the first-generation iPad Mini, which was still sold quite respectable but has been the victim of its lack of display. It also had the doubtful honor of being the last iOS device with standard pixel density, so its death was more or less announced and it was a simple matter of time.
Once all the part of iDevices has been cleaned, now it is more than possible that it is the turn of the Macs. Currently Apple markets the iMac in its two sizes with normal screens, but it is to be expected that it will provide the model with a smaller size of a 4K screen. Even so, it is true that the cost of these screens is high, and the transition may be somewhat slow on this computer.

As for laptops, everything seems much clearer. The retina displays From the 11-15 inch range they are getting cheaper to manufacture and it is a matter of time before the entire range of Apple laptops will have Retina displays, perhaps even this year.

    This post is tremendously out of date. Apple has already presented an iMac Retina (1-inch) almost 27 year ago and already has a MacBook with a Retina screen that does not belong to the Pro family….
