A lot of people have been asking me either "Does the iPad 2 have a retina after all?", "Why doesn't the iPad 2 have a retina display?" or, "So will the iPad 3 have a retina display?". The answer is that though the iPad 2 maintained the iPad 1's 160 ppi display, the iPad 3 will have a retina display. Apple wanted to give the iPad 2 a retina display, as you can see from the picture above of their plans to give the iPad 2 4x the resoloution (a retina display). However, they were low on supplies for this.
