Sorting Through the Retina MacBook Pro Rumors

As always the rumors surrounding Apple include everything from facts to wild wishful thinking. This year's Worldwide Development Conference (WWDC) left a lot of MacBook Pro users a bit disappointed. There was a lot of expectation about a new Retina MacBook Pro being announced, but the subject was never broached. Especially disappointing for those who were already shopping for an upgraded MacBook Pro cover.

Let's take a look at some of the info coming out of the Geekbench results database. It is expected that both the MacBook Air and the anticipated Retina Mac Pro will run Build 13A2050 of OS X Mavericks. Apple is also working to improve power consumption and extend battery life. They decreased the MacBook Air's energy thanks to Intel's Haswell platform. That may not be possible due to the Pro-Retina's high energy display. So will the Retina display actually happen? We think so. In our opinion Apple is putting all non-Retina displays out to pasture. Not that we want to start new rumors. Truth be told only time will tell where Apple and its Mac products are headed.
