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

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. Hail Timb!

obviously, which is why the extra $100 is even more ridiculous for the + lol apple gonna have like 90% margins on the fabled for anroid retards

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

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
|
# ? Sep 12, 2014 10:06 |
|
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'll be the 6s+ assuming its ever made

here's a silly idea: why not just render straight to the native res of the panel? smdh

# ? Sep 12, 2014 10:16 |

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

Isn't this a well known anti aliasing technique?

not cutting to like 85% of the original size nope
