Yes it is. The resolution on Apple's displays has stayed the same since their introduction. My pre-aluminum 20" Apple Cinema Display from early 2003 is 1680X1050 and has better response times than Dells at the time (They didn't even do a 20" back then..)
Apple has just "updated" the brightness and contrast ratio on the 30 inch ACD to match the Dell. Like last week.
I might be mistaken, but I remember the 17" Apple Cinema display started out as a 1024x640 but then switched to 1600x1024 native a while before it was discontinued. I have the feeling they changed out the entire LCD package halfway through its short run. I remember looking at a 1024x768 and asking myself why the hell anyone would buy a $1500 monitor with no better than average resolution for its time.
I can probably find other examples if I look hard enough, I'm just lazy.
