In June 2011, Apple released a redesigned 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. "It was reported that the redesigned laptop will land on stores first because of apparent issues with its 13-inch counterpart.

"Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI shared in a note with AppleInsider on Thursday that he expects Apple to ramp up production of a 13-inch next-generation MacBook Pro with Retina display in September. That would allow the product to hit stores in early October, in time for the holiday shopping season," reported MacRumors in June this year.

The new 13-inch MacBook Pro is speculated to feature a 2,560 x 1,600 pixels resolution display compared to the 2880 x 1800 pixels resolution of its predecessor. The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is currently priced at $2199. The existing 13-inch model with no Retina Display costs $1199. Consumers will hope that the new 13-inch model with Retina display to cost slightly over the current model

The countdown to the highly-awaited Apple event has started. Time will tell what devices are revealed by the tech giant in one of the most-anticipated events of the year.
