And in case anyone wants to be massively confused, the full set of iPhone screen resolutions are now:
1242 x 2208 at 3x density (414 x 736 points) for the 5.5" iPhone 6 Plus (scaled back down to 1080x1920 for display!) 750 x 1334 at 2x density (375 x 667 points) for the 4.7" iPhone 6 640 x 1136 at 2x density (320 x 568 points) for the 4" iPhone 5 640 x 960 at 2x density (320 x 480 points) for the 3.5" iPhone 4s And iOS people thought they had it easy compared to Android. Give up and embrace your new massively-multiple-screen-resolution masters! Note the 6 Plus also runs more stuff like the homescreen in landscape mode, kind of "phablet"y. -- brion On Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 11:59 AM, Brion Vibber <bvib...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > Ok, the web view scaling problem was due to missing launch images at the > new resolutions, which left us in a funky scaling mode. > > I've added stub images (which need to be replaced to look good): > https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/159524 > > With that in, web view rendered at native resolution and looks much nicer > on the 6 Plus simulator. > > -- brion > > On Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 11:39 AM, Brion Vibber <bvib...@wikimedia.org> > wrote: > >> iPhone 6 simulator check results: >> >> * Layout is mostly ok, except the status bar in landscape mode seems >> overlarge (?) >> >> iPhone 6 Plus simulator check results: >> >> * Layout roughly same as 6; looks good except that large status bar in >> landscape >> >> * Web content appears to be rendered at 2x resolution and scaled up; it >> appears slightly blurry in the simulator compared to text drawn directly on >> native buttons and labels. >> >> It's possible that this is a limitation of UIWebView; there's a new >> WebKit wrapper interface available on iOS 8 which may be more featureful... >> >> >> Actually in both cases, the web view reports itself as having a width of >> 320px and a devicePixelRatio of 2 (matching the 'classic' iPhone width). >> Might have to do something to opt in to the new native sizes.
