john gruber thinks it's "clever"

http://www.paintcodeapp.com/news/iphone-6-screens-demystified

quote:

The downscaling ratio is 1920 / 2208 = 1080 / 1242 = 20 / 23. That means every 23 pixels from the original render have to be mapped to 20 physical pixels. In other words the image is scaled down to approximately 87% of its original size.

It's not clever john, It's poo poo

so the iphone math should be slower if its rendering more pixels

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

gonna use a prime number for my scaling source, that won't cause problems

I'm the obvious pandering to spec retards by using 1080p instead of a multiple of retina resolutions

who gives a gently caress you can't see pixels anyway.

so wait the iPhone 6 has more pixels than it's advertised resolution? or is this about scaling 4" apps?

it renders more but then downscales to 1080p which makes it look worse

it's like how a retina macbook pro looks when you change it from the default 2x scaling, but thats just how it looks all the time

no, the screen is 1080p but iOS renders @3x and then down samples

Miley Virus
Apr 9, 2010

so the phone draws the screen at 2208x1242

then it goes "let's get this down to 1920x1080"

the way the scaling works then means that lines tend to blur a bit more, slightly less sharp


obvs with the ppi bump it still does look better but it could look loving incredible if apple paid up for the larger res panel

that doesn't seem like something in a s revision but it wouldn't change anything on the dev end i guess

here's a silly idea:

why not just render straight to the native res of the panel?

yeah i'm not sure why they didn't do 360x640 which at 3x would be 1080p

Miley Virus

probably cause that'd make the actual usable space cramped. look at how much space they give the icons to the sides of the home screen. with a smaller 'area' to work with (360x640 compared to the 414x736) you can't have stuff like that cause apps and ui elements would have to be closer together essentially

i imagine there's some ratio stuff that'd explain their reasoning


ofc apple would never tell us

i have to imagine it's a lot less hassle for devs to have all iPhones be the same point resolution, even if they're going to be adjusting the layout for the big ones

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
