There will not be any more non-Retina displays from Apple in the near future (2 years max), they're just waiting for the fabs to catch up and for the costs to drop. This is one of the ways to do this, by reusing the iPad's screen technologies to adopt it for the Airs. This makes all the sense in the world to do, especially if Apple wants to keep it at 999$ priceline. Apple will be seem as "falling behind" if they do not get rid of their non-retina displays sooner as the rest of the industry starts to catch up. Especially with Sharp's IGZO panels being used in many new products being released this year. Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc are all going to be releasing 4K displays in addition to including retina-class displays for their tablets and laptops.
