apple is getting all hosed up by their decision to have a single constant screen layout on every phone. they should take some lessons from android, the truly resolution independent os

oh, yeah, even though the native resolution of my screen is so high you can't see the pixels at all, I'm just gonna render everything at 3x the scale for a minute amount of anti aliasing and use eight times the processing power

Many people (myself included) were ordering both models in order (pun intended) to figure out which one to keep.

You can definitely divide whatever number they're gonna come up with by 2

not only is everyone impatient they are also indecisive and had to order both right away

i dont understand why it has to do this. the iphone 5/5s is 16:9 already, so why can't it just use the same layout of all the other apps? i doubt blowing them up would look good on such a large screen but can't they jutst use the same layout info with bigger widgets or whatever?

You're already dead

the iPhone display is thought of by the UI as a grid of "points". through the 3GS a point was one pixel which was convenient. starting with the 4 a point became 2 pixels. with the 6 they could stay there but then the screen would be lower dpi and this would be bad pr. so instead with the 6 they kept the same dpi and made a new point grid that's arbitrarily larger. it's still 2 pixels per point so everything is going to look weird and spaced out until every app maker makes a new custom layout for the 6.

for the 6+ this is untenable though since either the dpi would again be lower or the amount of spacing out would reach anroid tablet levels. so they decided to move the 6+ to 3 pixels per point on the new 6 layout. but this would require a display of infeasible dpi so they are internally rendering it at higher res and then scaling it down to a much cheaper 1920x1080 panel which can be found in any Shenzhen dumpster. presumably they intend to upgrade the display in the 6s+ or 7+ or whatever. in conclusion apple lol.

scaling is hard. I have confidence that Apple did a good job with it though.

Also keep in mind any anti ailasing will hardly be visible with the screen size and the distance you view it from.
