I also want to prepare for the folding iPhone that is rumoured to be released this year. Apple gave a few unsubtle hints yesterday about making sure that your app can run with different screen shapes and sizes.
The rumours are that the folding iPhone (Ultra?) will be passport sized. This means an outer display that is shorter and wider than any current iPhone, and an inner display that is almost the size of an iPad mini. So I will need to make sure that the iPhone app can work on both sizes (and probably various sizes in between to allow for multi-tasking).
Apple announced the ability to test apps with variable screen sizes, so my plan is to use that to make sure that it will run properly on either of the screens on the folding iPhone. They usually give only developers about 10 days between a device being announced and it being available, so I want to get as much done in advance as possible. Unlike most people I will be hoping for a much longer delay between the announcement and the release!
There are also rumours of an Apple Watch Ultra 4 that is quite different to the existing models, so I will probably need to modify the app to best make the most of whatever screen size that has. Although that will hopefully only involve minor tweaks rather than the major changes that will probably be required for the new iPhone screen sizes.
