    First we double images. I am good with that. Progress, more clarity and quality. SVG is growing as well. Now bitmapped content has to be 4x the size for 5k. Sometimes you don't even have source images that will be appropriate.

    Does Apple consider the flip side that uneducated consumers will be dissatisfied with the lack of fidelity on their new iMac with a lot of apps and most websites? The majority of sites still haven't optimized for retina, they won't be for 4k/5k.

    We recently reprocessed an archive of content to improve images for retina and it won't be happening again. Much of the older source material was barely good enough for retina.

    • It's the combo of pixel density and shear pixel real estate in bringing what's really a work station res to a general use machine.ETM
