I don't think the Airs will get retina for a while – until a case redesign or the retina display gets thinner. Take a look at this shot from the Ars review of the 15": http://cdn.arstechnica.net//wp-content/uploads/2012/06/rMBP_thick_v_Air.jpg http://cdn.arstechnica.net//wp-content/uploads/2012/06/rMBP_...
The thickness of the two notebooks are the same, but the MBP has a much thicker display and thinner body. That's fine for the "spine" of the notebook, but I don't think the Air's thin end can get any thinner.
I think next in line for a retina display is the 13" Pro and that Apple might keep a non-retina vs retina distinction between the Airs and the Pro for a little while.
