What The iPhone 5 Means For App Developers
Apple announced the new iPhone 5 yesterday and one of the biggest differences in the new device is that it has a larger screen size than previous models. The new 4″ screen will run older apps in a letterboxed format, so app developers should be thinking about the user experience and getting to work on updates. The device ships September 21st, so the time for reformatting is now.
The Next Web explains that, “Some apps, ones that use a ‘table view’ element, will likely be able to simply ‘stretch the middle’, letting the table spread out to the top and bottom of the screen,” and explains that ‘apps that use custom graphics all around, like those with bespoke interfaces or many 2D games, will need a full revamp.”
