The display of the new iPhone could be a problem for application developers

More and more serious sources confirm assumptions about the development of iPhone with 4-inch display. However, analysts' opinions and journalists at odds as to how Apple plans to implement this idea. Some believe that the company change the aspect ratio screen, while others argue that such a display size will be possible due to the proportional increase in the diagonal of the matrix.

Potential headache associated with a change in size of the screen in the new iPhone, threatened, of course, application developers for the iOS, reports Cult of Mac. Indeed, in a certain case, they will have to adapt their programs for the new display in addition to the old generation of the screen in the iPhone 3GS, Retina of the iPhone 4 / 4S and the new iPad. Moreover, when a major change ratio display iPhone sides in the next generation and as a result, change in his permission, corny disappear the same "magic" a proportional increase in resolution graphics programs. It is much easier to create graphics in high definition, then proportionally reduce it four times, for compatibility with previous-generation screens. If the standard resolution of 320x480 / 640h960 change, there will be a real fragmentation of the platform in Android. In this case, Apple will have to simplify the application process of adaptation and help developers with this problem.

According to Rene Ritchie (Rene Ritchie) of iMore, Apple most logical step in this case would be an increase in diagonal display of up to 4 inches without changing the aspect ratio and resolution. The number of pixels per inch to fall to 288-ppi, which will affect the definition, but is unlikely to be particularly critical. In addition, if you increase the screen size to 3.8 inches, the density will be 300-ppi, the marketing name Retina in this case remain in force in relation to the iPhone.

As practice shows, the larger the screen size, the easier it becomes to use the device in a number of cases ranging from surf the web and ending video. Even if the pixel density below and sharpness less. And knowing Apple we can assume that it will achieve the desired change without any smartphone size. In this case, the question arises, is there any sense at all of bother with a change in the diagonal of the screen? On this occasion, there are a couple of assumptions. In particular, the increase in size of the display - a modern trend, and many people make a choice in favor of Android-smartphone just because of their increased diagonal screens compared with the iPhone. Apple does not want to lose customers and they will try to attract a larger screen on the iPhone the future.

The second assumption concerns the technical side of the device. That the iPhone will be the sixth generation to support LTE. The problem is that the modem for cellular networks fourth generation - is very voracious thing. No compact smartphone with support for the LTE, all of them "shovel" for radio should be well fed and it requires a larger battery that can fit only in a large enclosure. So is the case with the iPhone - Apple will establish a larger screen, to somehow explain the change in size of the device upward, but in fact it's all done for the sake of placing a larger battery that can soak LTE-modem.

Well, we wait for the fall and learn everything.
