As part of its flurry of updates to Apple.com today, Apple’s web team posted the new OS X Mavericks background image at 5120×2880. That resolution is identical to the one anticipated for a 27″ Retina display for the iMac or a standalone Retina Thunderbolt Display.

The image, which was noticed by Twitter user Marvin Scharle, is similar to Retina-sized images that were included in Lion in 2011, long before Apple had released any Retina-equipped Macs
publicly.

With Apple’s announcement today that the new Mac Pro would include support for 4K video displays along with Thunderbolt 2, the company is clearly getting ready for larger Retina panels in the future.
