Automatic text reflow in iPhone 5?

That is exactly what the Reader function (which is already built into Safari) is for.

 

Ah, I see what you mean now. My mistake

 

Yeah. reader is really awesome. It makes reading much better than android's gigantic screen.

For forum reading. Use tapatalk instead. It's much better than reading it in safari

 

That's a good solution for now. But he means when the next iPhone comes out. Because I agree, the text needs to be overall larger in safari for any web page, because after about 20 mins of reading forums on my iPhone my eyes start to get irritated. We shouldn't have to get a 3rd party app just to be able to read better in safari you know? Seems like Apple should be aware of this and try to do something about it. Crossing my fingers.

 

The macrumors mobile site is easily readable on even my 3gs at a greater distance than you would normally hold your phone. I just tried it, both the forum and the front page. I can't believe people have a problem with it.

I can appreciate that some people would want a bigger screen, but I really think those same people need to drop the web browsing argument. The same mobile site on a 4.5 inch screen will only be marginally bigger than on an iphone, and desktop pages will suck just as bad. Using terms like tiny and puny in relation to a phone makes one look either trollish, or just plain stupid.

Reflowing text? Cool, bring it on. More features is better. I maintain though that it is not really needed for sites to be more legible. It's funny how people keep blaming Apple for walking around with blurry vision.

 

If they do, I hope they allow you to disable it, i hate reflow, it really messes up the layout of web pages unless your zoomed all the way out, and then the text is too small. I really like the way the iPhone does it now, even android is following, there is no reflow in chrome (it may be an option though, I just know on my HTC One X there was no reflow in chrome).
