This information emerged at the last worldwide conference of Apple developers WWDC in San Francisco, USA, which took place from 11/6/2012. At the opening keynote, Tim Cook presented the new operating systems iOS 6 (possible link to the article about ios from wwdc) for mobile devices and Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
Before this conference, "guaranteed" information from sources close to Apple spread over the Internet that the giant from Cupertino will also introduce a new generation iPhone with a larger display or a new, smaller "iPad mini".
Analyst Gene Munster asked himself whether it would be a problem for developers to adapt their applications to the new displays, and directly at WWDC he asked hundreds of them how difficult it would actually be. He asked the developers to rate the complexity of these modifications on a scale from 1 to 10. After averaging all the answers, the result was 3,4 out of 10. This could indicate the need for very small changes and thus the simplicity of modifying the applications, indicated directly by the most professional - the development people.
"With the relative simplicity expected from developers when making practical changes for potentially new display sizes on iOS devices, I believe that the introduction of new displays will not impact the success or availability of iOS applications," Munster said.
Gene Munster's survey also found that up to 64% of developers have or expect more revenue from iOS apps, and only 5% expect more revenue from Android app sales. The remaining 31% did not know or did not want to answer the question about income.
"I believe that Apple's developer base will continue to develop advanced applications and the team will attract new customers, which will greatly help sales of iOS devices," concluded Munster.
You could have kept the mentions of another iPad and iPhone to yourself (or you could have kept them in AppleInsider), in my opinion it is total nonsense. There will definitely not be a smaller iPad, and if it reaches (I don't see that very likely) the size of the iPhone's display (btw. it will definitely not be called iPhone 5, but it will just be "iPhone"), Apple will definitely not change the aspect ratio.
We'll find out in the fall if I'm joking (at least about the iPhone). :-)
I'm afraid of changing the aspect ratio/size of the iPhone display...
..jj..agree - one of the reasons I don't make software for Android is because there are hundreds of types of phones with random sizes. For Apple toys, we have four today, and if it starts to increase, I will migrate to Windows Phone (only as a developer, however, for use, the combination of all Apple toys and services has no competition)
I can imagine the solution you mentioned, although it probably won't look the best on a white iPhone. it reminds me of the case from the UK, where they switched to wide-angle TV broadcasting in 1999, but a lot of material in the news, programs) were still in the ratio 4:3, and to this day many programs are broadcast in the so-called pillar box. A transitional 14:9 format would also be possible, but I'm already mystifying that too much :))
I'm no Slovak, but I would kill to write and say "two beers". :)
Correct this sentence "there would be two black bars"
ps: and also the Ypsilon
Yes, two and two is the eternal dilemma of which to use. I missed it this time, for which I apologize :)
To Ypsilon, the spelling correction in Pages for Slovak still has a little gap :)
As I wrote above, completely fine. ;)
total nonsense of a total analyst with an even more total solution. perhaps no one in the editorial office doubted for a moment that Apple would never allow something as disgusting as stripes supplementing the aspect ratio of 16:9. I would understand if people screamed 16:9 as much as they wanted, but no one wants it, and they would keep creating hoaxes on this topic. the ratio of the golden ratio is given and apple knows it very, very well. however, look at the iPad and Surface, is it really such a noodle for work? who among you is excited about the ribbon on notebooks that switched to 16:9 16:10 vertically, nothing can fit there and you can't work solidly on it.
dear sir, have you ever enlarged iphone app on ipad? the black bars are also there, strongly resolved and that's how apple allows it. if you think they can't switch to 16:9, you're naive. due to the preparation of itv and the already functional appletv, which also runs on a modified ios and for which an application development environment is being prepared (most TV today is 16:9), it is most likely that these applications can also be used on ipads and iphones. Even today, there is not only one resolution (ipad1, ipad2, iphone4, iphone 4s), so there is no reason to think that it is not possible to add more to the built-in resolutions.
the fact that applications for 3:2 can be run on the iPad is only an option to be decided, but it is not a matter of the application running natively, as it is not intended for the iPad at all. the fact that it is more differentiated does not matter to us developers at all, because it is always about the same aspect ratio. so the problem is not the resolution but the layout of the GUI with a different aspect ratio. the elements of the application can of course be equal to the matrix from the corners, but this is not always possible and the most effective solution. the fact that support for applications for apple TV will come will bring another resolution with which it will be calculated in the same way as it is with the desktop GUI, it will float and be divided into normal and HiDPI graphics. 16:9 brings no user benefit
resolution is not equal to aspect ratio. 4 ->4 with the same aspect ratio 4 times resolution
ipad -> new ipad same aspect ratio 4 times resolution. mac pro -> mac pro retina 4x resolution same aspect ratio
born from the manufacturer of the device with android in apple I use reason
Whoah. I don't want a wide-angle iPhone. Those noodle androids are really worthless.
