Apple's MacBook Air could be next to get Retina display treatment, according to a new report.
Apple is planning to bring the Retina display to the
MacBook Air in the third quarter of 2013, Taiwan-based paper Economic Daily is reporting today, citing sources in the company's supply chain. The Retina display will come bundled in both the 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air models, according to the report.
Apple last week cut the price by $100 of its 256GB MacBook Air to $1,399. The move was a response to it dropping the price of its
MacBook Pro with Retina down to $1,499. Apple also boosted processor speeds in its MacBook Pro line.
The Retina display has been making inroads into Apple's Mac line. The high-end display came to the MacBook Pro last year. The display is also available in Apple's iPhone, iPod Touch, and
iPad.
That the MacBook Air could be next on the list to get the Retina display isn't all that surprising. However, Apple has made no indication that it has plans to deliver the technology to any other products.
In addition to talk of improvements to the MacBook Air, another report out of Korea today said that Apple's next-generation iPad would come with GF2 display technology, a thinner alternative to what's currently running in the device. Apple's iPad Mini uses GF2 display technology. The addition of GF2 should make it easier for Apple to deliver a thinner full-sized iPad.
CNET has contacted Apple for comment on report. We will update this story when we have more information.
