Rumour: Did Apple just out Macs with retina displays on Twitter?

A retina display iMac? Our eyes are already drooling at the potential ppi overload...

A number of tweets have popped up on the twittersphere following a (now pulled) Mac OS X 10.7.3 update which has lead one Apple writer, John Gruber to believe that retina display Macs are in the pipeline.

The most promising tweet is that of a pointing finger icon which has been redrawn for higher resolution displays, although we remain fans of the old school charm of pixelated icons ourselves.

Some Mac Minis have also been reported to boot into HiDPI mode at a resolution of 960x540, also suggesting compatibility for higher definition, retina Apple displays.

Although we’re taking all of this with a bucket of salt, we’re still salivating at the thought of a retina Apple Thunderbolt display with the high dpi of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Please Apple, let the rumours be true…

 you want to see the effect that type of screen has on a desktop app use one of the MANY apps that allow you to use your iOS device as a secondary screen.

Having been a graphic designer, beyond a point it makes zero difference. Sitting at my 15 inch Dell XPS with a full HD screen I have to get pretty close to see the pixels
