iPad 2X? Has Apple been pushing iPad 2X icons since June?

Here’s Mark Gurman’s post from way back last year.  Interesting that iPad 2x icons were already appearing in the documentation…

On Apple’s online developer user-interface documents a section discusses iPad universal applications. This is a universal application for two versions of the iPad. The current version and an alluded to higher resolution version, an iPad with a retina display.

As you can see in the image above, Apple notes “MyIcon~ipad.png” for the standard iPad existing today, and a “higher-resolution variant “MyIcon@2X~ipad.” As you can most likely already tell, Apple here is likely referring to a higher-resolution iPad.
