It's important to separate supporting retina display mobile and desktop devices. Apple's web site uses the load both method to show off the retina display MacBook - which is more likely to have a faster internet connection and is a more powerful machine in general.

Sending more data to primarily empower mobile devices sounds rather counter-intuitive
Amount of data, and *when that data comes in*, are distinct things. One other change we've got brewing up for the mobile site is to delay loading of collapsed section content by separating it out to an API request. This gets you loading the initial page *immediately*, then loads up the rest. Same amount of data, but the page above the sections is live and visible and interactive before you load the other stuff.
