iPad Retina = 2048 x 1536. Wonder if the PC and Mac versions will offer high resolutions, although the iPad having a small screen means the DPI is high. On PC/Mac, it might not look as good.
Who knows? They may have different assets, at least in some cases (e.g. for UI elements).
First time hearing the resolution of Apple’s “retina” mode. 52% higher than 1080p (2048×1536=3,145,728, 1920×1080=2,073,600). What makes it silly is that it’s normally on a smaller screen than desktop (or even laptop) computing’s standards. Conceivably they could have kept the textures sizes the same, made the graphics library target resolution match 2048×1536 (changed one line of code), and viewed it on a smaller screen to produce the stated effect.
