iOS How difficult would adjusting your apps to 9:5 be?

If Apple were to introduce a phone with a 9:5 screen ratio, how difficult would it be for you to adjust your apps to it?

(I allow multiple choice for if the difficulty would vary from app to app.)

Also, if you're not a developer, feel free to comment, but please don't vote. The idea is to get a more experienced opinion with this poll.

Adding a new aspect ratio definitely makes it more difficult than adding a new resolution at the same aspect (of course using the same aspect AND resolution would be no work at all).

It really depends on the type of app, those using standard UI elements (tab bars, scrolling lists, etc.) like Mail or Safari would be fairly easy to make work on a different resolution and/or aspect ratio. But those using custom user interfaces would have potentially a lot more work to do (or higher cost if they're paying artists), which is a real burden for small teams or independent developers who are already trying to do everything.

For me it would be difficult as I'm using a lot of custom views.

The width remains the same, but the height increases by 192 pixels?

Hmmm...keep the app the same, but stick 3 rows of iAds in there.

[edit]
Oops, my mistake. Those are Retina pixels. It's only increased by 96 pixels.

It would be difficult for me because I'd have to rearrange my entire scenes which are laid out with a very specific artistic feel. Not to mention I'd have to move around emitters and all kinds of crap.

Hah, but aren't iAds 100 pixels tall? Thus you can squeeze two more in.

iPhone iAd sizes are 50pts high portrait and 32pts high landscape.

(No wonder you weren't making any money from them, Art. I keed, I keed).

Oh, I thought those were the pre-Retina sizes. Guess I Retina'd the Retina graphics....

wait a minute, no I didn't. I said 100 pixels. Not points.

Whoops. My bad.
