It'd almost have to be. None of their improvements in the article are around increasing the resolution of the write heads.

Hmm.. found this from 2016: https://www.anandtech.com/show/10470/the-evolution-of-hdds-i...

It seems that shingled recording (SMR) could still be the future, although the original article does not seem to mention it?
