Suppliers are already working on Retina displays for the next MacBook Air. The Wall Street Journal reports suppliers have been mass producing 12-inch Air displays that are of a higher resolution. WSJ claims the suppliers plan to ship a large number of displays in Q2.
Brooke Crothers: "Hooking up a monitor used to be easy. Then USB-C arrived. The 12-inch Retina MacBook and the Dell XPS 15 (late 2015) are fantastic laptops. But both should come with big red warning tags: “USB-C is a Work in Progress.” "
BBC: Thousands of Apple Macbook owners are campaigning for action over reported issues with the laptop's retina screen. They are reporting "horrific stains" spreading across screens, in the forms of spots and patches.
"there are online forums discussing the problem dating back to 2009"
So a few 1000 people from an entire 6 years complain about it and you've given it a "-gate" controversy name? Well that's not presumptuous at all...
How many products with retina displays have been sold? What kind of defect rate are we talking about here?
Millions get sold each year worldwide do the maths this dating back 09 yet more than 2,500 people so far.
Not many tbh.
Apple is widely expected to launch a smaller, thinner, fanless 12-inch Retina MacBook Air laptop next year, and it may feature a design made possible by Intel’s Core M “Broadwell” processor the chipmaker launched this year. CPU World has listed four brand new Intel Core M processor versions that are even better than the Core M chips Intel already launched, with MacRumors saying these Core M versions are destined for Apple’s upcoming Retina MacBook Air.
Yay! I love my MacBook Air but gee it has been well overdue for the Retina upgrade
Meh, just catch up to the Windows based ultrabook.
