Hi,

Based on yesterday's discussions & suggestions, and putting aside the secondary 
topics for now :-) , this is what could be done and why :

Requirements to be compliant with Apple's specs on iOS devices:
1)  "retina" devices should always get the double DPI of their non retina 
equivalent
2)  "mini" devices should always get the same DPI of their non-mini equivalent.

To meet the above requirements, these are the DPI classifications for iOS 
devices:
iPad 1+2 => 160 DPI (real:132)
iPad 3+4 => 320 DPI (real: 264)
iPad mini 1 => 160 DPI (real:163)
iPad mini retina  => 320 DPI (real:326)

This is basically equivalent to reverting back to SDK 4.10 DPI classification , 
and fix the common issue with iPad 3+4.

The change should be done in the default RuntimeDPIProvider, and specifically 
for the devices above , so as not to impact other devices...

What do you think ?

PS: 
Actually there are two other possibilities that also meet the requirement and 
that I rejected:
2) use the 120 / 240 instead of 160 / 320 for all iOS devices
that is SDK 4.11 extended to "mini", 
=> but then people are complaining that the UI is too small (smaller than what 
it used to be) 

3) use 120 / 240 for all iOS devices, AND scale up all CSS and AS Script by 1.33
=> far too costly..

I can confirm these figures for SDK 4.10 

- iPad 1+2 = 160  dpi  (real: 132)
- iPad 3+4 = 240 dpi        (real: 263)
- iPad mini 1 = 160 dpi  (real: 163).

And for SDK 4.11:
- iPad 1+2 = 120  dpi  (real: 132)
- iPad 3 = 240 dpi        (real: 263)

So if the buckets didn't change in SDK 4.11, I guess that your figures for iPad 
mini 1 and 2 are correct for SDK  4.11

Hi,

Currently this is what classifyDPI returns:
- iPad1+2 = 120 dpi
- iPad 3+4+Air = 240 dpi
- iPad min 1 = 160 dpi
- iPad mini 2 = 320 dpi

Or so I assueme form the specs anyone confirm on a real device?

Thanks,
Justin
