But what do the developers who will have to deal with the implications of a larger screen think? I talked to a few iOS app makers, and interestingly, many of them are not convinced Apple would actually “pull an Android,” as one developer put it, and make it more complicated to design for a bunch of different screen sizes (iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4/4S and something new).
I wouldn’t say four screen sizes (two for iPhone and two for iPad) is a “bunch” compared ofcourse to Android.
true that. But one thing that makes iOS so appealing is that there’s two screen sizes. iPhone and iPad. All you have to worry about is the whole wifi or 3g, retina or not and processor speed issues. That’s rather awesome compared to the myriad of factors with Android where all the various factors and variations have created easily 200+ situations to test if you want to be compatible with everything
my take on this: yes, make a 4″ screen, but use the space on the top/bottom for some additional output => no need to update existing apps

Would be 3 iPhones if they change the resolution or aspect ratio.
