I thought Apple had always made clear that resolution

an end-user feature, would "go prime time" when high-dpi panels were
shipping in their machines.
I would consider jamming 1920x1200 into a laptop to be high-dpi. I
played
with resolution independence a while back with an early seed, and
wow, it
was just gorgeous (the bits that worked, that is).
The high-res 17" screens are about 133 dpi, which is getting close
to twice the notional 72 dpi "point-to-pixel equivalence" that is
stated in Apple's "Coordinate Systems and Transforms"
documentation. Having just bought a new MacBook last week I am
enjoying the higher density screen but I have more than once felt
that resolution independence is becoming a "need" rather than a
"want" with this type of display.
Which aligns with Apple guidance on this topic at last WWDC... aka
getting close being a need.
