Nope. The way the Retina Display works is that 4 pixels are packed into the space that used to contain only one. So 320x480 images (if scaled up to fit the screen) will look identical on the iPhone 4 as they do on older iPhones.
Close, but I was thinking something like this...but minus the apple logo (since it'll go behind the apps)....
I can match up the circles, but I can't get it to be a seamless patch as far as the gradient of shading across it...
argh.
Thanks though...
Edit: It may look like a dirty white though next to the white face of the new phone...
If you honestly are not able to see the individual pixels, I made this, and am really curious to see how it looks on the Retina display.
Also - when I'm making wallpapers, I've been setting the PPI at 326. Is this necessary, or is it only necessary that the resolution is identical?
I'm curious as well about how regular 320x480 wallpapers look on the Retina Display...
I think it's still necessary to cater to those who want every single pixel they can absorb with their eyeballs, even if it's hard to notice the differences. heheh

Irrelevant. Those settings only matter for printing. Just make it the right resolution and the PPI won't matter at all.
They'll look exactly the same as they do on the 3GS display.
But yeah, like you said, people will want things that look even better. So making these large images is worth it. But if someone is happy with an image they're using now, they should keep using it. It'll look the same as they're used to it looking.

Haha you win, it looks great not dirty. I just inverted it (obvious) what settings did you use? Are you using Ps?
Thanks...
Yeah PS3...I did a bunch of different things to it...
played with levels, white/black balance...I couldn't even name all the stuff, I just played with it...
This one is freaking awesome!
I know right?! I found it on Deviant Art, I forgot which user though.
Me too!
That's why I was like "Ohhh this would look sweet on my new iPhone 4!"
With the new iOS, can we leave a page blank, where just the dock, and wallpaper is showing? I like to keep my first page as clean as possible.
The only way I think you can do this is to have your iPhone provisioned as a dev device, create your own app, create an invisible icon for that app and load it up.
Its a lot of work for one fricken blank icon.
LOL, I didnt even try that! It works! I just moved all my apps off of the home page and poof, I got a blank home page! SWEET! Thanks fizzwinkus!
