![]() ![]() There's a little time till December, so it's possible Apple will announce a higher-resolution display later this year to coincide with the Mac Pro's availability. At 27-to-30 inches, Apple's biggest displays aren't that huge, but you'll certainly be sitting close to them - as close as you'd sit to any computer monitor. ![]() Of course, in order to see the difference with 4K, you'll either need a huge screen or to be sitting really close to it. Think of a computer screen as a 4K gateway drug. Once people are able to see 4K content on in-home screens, they may see the difference and be more likely to buy an ultra-high-definition set. More and more films are being shot in 4K, and more and more films will be distributed that way in the future. The ultraportable – said to be slimmer and lighter than the existing Air – may well gain new, distinctive branding, it's said.The fact is 4K TV sets aren't exactly commonplace in homes just yet, but computers and streaming video are poised to to change that reality. ![]() Meanwhile, the report also suggests that the supposed 12-inch MacBook Air with Retina display is also on track for the same time period, despite rumors earlier this week of potential delays as a result of shortages of Intel's newest Broadwell processor. The leaks suggest the new 4K Mac tech will arrive at around the same late October window as the final release of Yosemite. With OS X Yosemite placing such a focus on Retina-ready graphics, as we observed in our preview of the new Mac platform, bringing the desktop in line seems an obvious step for Apple to take. ![]() It's unclear, the insiders say, whether Retina branding will be used, and unlike as was the case with the shift from regular iPad to iPad with Retina display, it's not expected that Apple will actually double the current resolution of its biggest screens. If Apple got its supply chain and pricing right, of course, it could also offer an iMac with the same panel technology. ![]()
