iPhone 4 app icons pixelation issue

[designernate]

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if any of you have noticed some odd things with the pixelation of your apps. The new iPhone 4 has a beautiful display and because of this the older apps on your phone appear much worse than before (just compare the safari icon to your older 3rd party app it's noticeable )

I know this is a normal issue the developers just have to update their icon to support the higher resolution. However I've noticed a strange phenomenon where if you update or redownload a old app the greyed out image with the loading bar appears to be a hi res image until it installs where it reverts back to the low res....

Has anyone else encountered this? Try it and see if it happens to you.... Here's pics to show what I mean:

Me too

I've noticed this too! It's strange and annoying! I wish all the developers would update their icons.

It is not high resolution when it is grayed out. It is probably the effect of applying the high-res gloss over the dimmed pixelated icon. This gives the effect you are seeing.

Never thought about that, but it makes sense.

That's not an issue The developers haven't updated their app icons yet, but they will in the near future. Notice that the Apple Apps (Safari, Mail...) don't have this issue, which means that they have been updated.

I have noticed this particularly annoying phenomenon with the high res app icons when updating as well. Almost taunts you.

Icon pixelization issue

It is not high resolution when it is grayed out. It is probably the effect of applying the high-res gloss over the dimmed pixelated icon. This gives the effect you are seeing.

It's not because of gray out. The application logo shows on the appstore list the same size and not pixelated, really clear. Only when you install, it pixelizes. But I don't know the reason, either.
It's really annoying though. It ruins the general view.

Ex: Below you see the Messenger, Zaytung, My Point and Volume Free logos
