Rumor: iMacs updated should arrive soon, but still no Retina display

Updating an article with speculation about future iMacs and Macs Pro, the developer Marco Arment – creator of the famous Instapaper app – said last night he had gotten information about the next all-in-one Mac update.

According to him, the iMac should really be updated soon – but it will not come, yet, with a Retina display.

The reason for this can be explained by the simple fact that the iMac’s Retina display, with its 27 inches, must have absurd 5120 Γ— 2880 pixels of resolution. There are no less than 14,745,600 points on the display – there is bandwidth, processor and graphics card to handle it! ?

It is not that Apple does not have the capacity to build such a screen, but it may be that mass production of it is not yet adequate at the moment – the same applies, by the way, to the Thunderbolt Display. We’ll see.
