How many pixels does the notification center have?

I have no proof for this, I`m maybe a little bit late. But need youre help. I think I resolved a mystery.

Have a look at an offical picture from the Apple Homepage:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

It shows the notifications.

I make a reference to this article:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/02/16/the-four-inch-iphone-display-doing-the-math/
(please read it, its interesting)

At a 16:10 aspect ratio, Apple could keep the iPhone 4's display at 640 pixels in the portrait dimension without substantially sacrificing resolution -- it would be around 300 ppi instead of 326, which isn't much of a loss. The resolution would change to 1024 x 640. This means apps formatted for the iPhone's current 3:2 form factor would run "pillarboxed" with 32 blank pixels on either side -- at roughly 300 ppi, that works out to about 2.5 mm of blank screen on either side -- unless developers decided to program the new resolution into their apps.

Apple cant force app developers to change to resolution on their apps for a few pixels. But they can use the "extra" pixels for notifactions that can come up without disturb the main application.

So how many pixels do this new notifactions use is the question?

Definitely more than 32px. The status bar is 40px and the notifications are much taller than that. It's a nice idea though.

EDIT: Unless... they position the app closer to the bottom and let there be 64px up top.

yes youre right, were talking about 64 pixels. I found a picture with the 960x640 resolution and a notifaction like this, it seems the notifications has 80 pixels.



And then, I looked is it possible to cut it down(just cut) to 64 pixels. It is possible with no loss of information. The edges on the notifactions would have to be refitted. But the icon and the text would still be fine.

What do you think, seems possible to handle a bigger screen thats still a retina and you have no problems with the apps.
