“#App<\/a>le’s new MacBook Pros may get taller, sharper displays<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

A new report by MacRumors<\/a> provides strong evidence Apple plans to increase the resolution on its rumored \u2018M1X\u2019 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros, which are expected to be announced within the next month or two.<\/p>\n

MacRumors contributor Steve Moser<\/a> took a close look at the latest macOS Monterey beta and found two mysterious new resolutions that don\u2019t match any existing Mac: 3456 x 2234 and 3024 x 1964.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a couple of interesting things about these resolutions. For one, they\u2019re obviously higher resolution than the current MacBook Pro models, which are 3072 x 1920 (16-inch) and 2560 x 1600 (13-inch). It\u2019s curious that Apple would opt to increase the resolution and pixel density (about 250 ppi) by a fairly significant margin, considering the existing MacBook\u2018s are already at \u2018Retina\u2019 quality (roughly 227 ppi).<\/p>\n

Then again, considering how many 4k laptops are on the market (that\u2019s 3840 x 2160, for a 16:9 display), perhaps Apple didn\u2019t want to get left behind, even if there\u2019s likely to be a minimal visible benefit.<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s perhaps even more interesting about these numbers is the aspect ratios they suggest. Apple has used a 16:10 aspect ratio for almost all of its laptops for many years now, slightly ahead of the current trend for taller aspect ratios than the usual 16:9.<\/p>\n

If these resolutions aren\u2019t a fluke, they suggest Apple is going even taller this time, closer to the 3:2 ratio used by Surface devices (which is also the most common photography aspect ratio). Taller aspect ratios have come into vogue because, well, they\u2019re just better for almost anything that\u2019s not<\/p>\n

What\u2019s strange is that these aspect ratios are clearly taller than 16:10, but they don\u2019t quite match 3:2 either. Even weirder, the two aspect ratios don\u2019t perfectly match each other. To make the comparison a little simpler, some basic math tells us a 16:10 display has a ratio of 1.6:1, while a 3:2 display is 1.5:1. The new 16-inch model would appear to have a ratio of 1.55:1 and the 14-inch one would be 1.54:1.<\/p>\n

Yes, the aspect ratios are only off by the tiniest fraction, but it\u2019s weird to see when the current MacBooks match 100% perfectly. It\u2019s also an overall unusual aspect ratio that doesn\u2019t fit any of several common photography, film, or broadcast formats format (14:9 AKA 1.56:1<\/a> is the closest, but even that\u2019s rather unusual). I guess Apple just has<\/em> to think different.<\/p>\n

Still, I think a little more vertical space is always a good thing on a laptop. With the new MacBooks expected to be released before the end of the year, it shouldn\u2019t be much longer until we solve this mystery.<\/p>\n
