Do Retina Display Apps Scale Up Better On iPad?

[chizzer2003]

I was just wondering that iPhone Apps with Retina Display support scale up with better pixel for pixel quality than an iPhone App without Retina Display support, seeing as the artwork is closer to the iPad resolution than a non retina display app. I hope you understand 🙂

Stupidly no, they don't. They scale up just as ugly as the regular iPhone apps.

My theory is this was done by Apple on purpose to put pressure on developers to make iPad versions of their apps.

If you're jailbroken, RetinaPad enables this - showing it's very much a deliberate limitation of Apple.

Straight up. RetinaPad FTW!

so is it worth jail breaking a brand new iPad? 🙂
