Rene Ritchie on Twitter: "@jmfd @mjtsai It’s 720 vertical points though, not pixels. Presumably you can kick it out of Best for Retina to 1x if you want more space?"

The last time Apple released a computer with 720 vertical pixels or less was the iBook (Firewire) on September 13, 2000.

@jmfd Thank you for looking that up.

@mjtsai even the iPad is 768 on its minor axis. Fun that Hype automatically throws autolayout exceptions at 720 (all autoresizingmask ones!)

@jmfd What do you think the reason is? Cheaper panels at that resolution? Do they prefer a lower DPI?
Jonathan Deutsch ‏@jmfd 10 Mar 2015

@mjtsai I doubt they prefer a lower DPI because the previous non-retina MBPs were higher logical DPI than the Retina ones.
