No, their 13'' screens have been 2560x1600 (226ppi) since 2012. You are confused because the nomenclature like 1080p refers to vertical resolution while 4k refers to horizontal resolution.

No to what? I know what 1080p/1600p/1800p is. Here's a direct quote from the Macbook Air tech specs:

Retina display: 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 2560-by-1600 native resolution

If 1600p on 13" is not Retina you need to argue this with Apple instead.

It's 226ppi display. Why would it not be a retina display?

1280x720: 720p

1920x1080: 1080p

2560x1440: 1440p

2560x1600: ...

EDIT: if you're going to edit your comment once called out on talking nonsense, at least have the decency to note it.
