Four days before the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro was introduced, KGI
Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a report claiming that Apple would
launch the machine alongside the then-current MacBook Pro line rather than
as a direct replacement.
Kuo's report turned out to be nearly exactly on point, as was the case with
his April report claiming that Apple would discontinue the 17-inch MacBook
Pro, and so it pays to revisit his Retina MacBook line claims to see what
the future might hold.
In that report, Kuo claimed that the 13-inch MacBook Pro would likely arrive
in the August timeframe at the earliest, with the machine's release being
held back by display yield and challenges with heat dissipation in the
smaller body.
[W]e don’t expect the new 13” MacBook to be available until after August
this year, as it has limited space for thermal dissipation and uses a lower-
yield retinal display than the 15” version.

lineup
With the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro now available, Kuo has released a new
report taking another look at Apple's plans for the 13-inch version, and
AppleInsider reports that he is now estimating a September production ramp
for the machine with an early October launch to follow.
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.
In his note last week, Kuo predicted that the 15-inch Retina model would
carry a thickness of 19 millimeters (0.75 inches), while the 13-inch model
could come in slightly thinner at 18 millimeters (0.71 inches). But the 15-
inch model Apple actually introduced already comes in at the 18 millimeter
figure, so it is unclear whether Apple would be able trim any additional
thickness off for the 13-inch model.
Potentially supporting the idea of a 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro being in
testing is the discovery of a "MacBookPro10,2" listing in the results
database for the battery utility app MiniBatteryLogger. The 15-inch MacBook
Pro carries a designation of "MacBookPro10,1", and while the MacBookPro10,2
designation could presumably have been faked, there are several indications
that it may be legitimate.
First, the database entry appeared on April 25, well ahead of much specific
information on the Retina MacBook Pro that might have helped create a
legitimate-looking fake entry. Second, the machine's battery registers a
design capacity of 6580 mAh, roughly 14% greater than the 5770 mAh battery
found in the non-Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro. By comparison, the 15-inch
Retina MacBook Pro's 8460 mAh battery has roughly 22.5% greater capacity
than the 6900 mAh battery in the non-Retina model.
While the battery capacity ratios between corresponding Retina and non-
Retina MacBook Pro batteries would not be exactly the same if this
MacBookPro10,2 is indeed a genuine 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, they are at
least in the same range and one could imagine that a smaller display and
lack of a discrete graphics card could shrink the amount of capacity boost
needed to power a 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro. | p*****t
