The Curved iPhone 6 Screen Is Great News For Consumers, But Still Leaves iOS Developers In The Dark


This week it was 9to5Mac’s images of the glass layer of the screen, which shows a more rounded edge. If this is the actual design (as always, the jury is out until the reveal of the final product) then the styling of the iPhone 6 edges will be in line with handsets such as the Nexus 4 and the Lumia 925.
Peripheral designers have a large and porous supply chain to help them get ready for the launch, unfortunately iOS developers have nothing to go on when designing for the new screen size.
It’s clear that there is going to be a new physical screen size on the new iPhone. What’s not clear is what size the developers will need to code for. It’s all well and good proclaiming 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, but unless the pixel size is known, then developers are going to be left in a state of limbo.
