What does a MacBook Pro Retina display have to do with the iPhone 5? Oh, I see, the author ASSUMED there would be an announcement for it with the iPhone 5 announcement and because they didn't, that makes it a negative.

Apparently, Erik hates the new connector, but couldn't think of enough synonyms for "bad idea" to justify a whole article about it so concocted the whole Retina display thing to use as filler.

Nice.
