Xcode 6 Allows Developers to Test Larger iPhone and iPad Screen Sizes

That and the new size classes in storyboards

 

Definitely foreshadowing.

 

Still not seeing the Xcode update in the App Store.

 

It's in beta right now!

 

So this means that we can see what the built in apps look like at other resolutions, right, including, say, Springboard?

So we could mess around with that to see if Springboard adds additional rows and/or columns and whatnot when it's given different sizes. Maybe it'll also resize icons and stuff.

 

Would also be good for testing how your app looks in half-screen landscape.

Just in case that feature gets enabled in iOS 8 or a future release.

 

Leaving zero doubt that we will see a larger iPhone

 

I believe you need OSX Yosemite.

 

Tell devices it's resolution.

Sometimes, it'd be nice to tell my retina iPad to use a lower resolution, some graphical apps just display things WAY too small. (They read better on non-retina devices or sometimes even my iPhone!)

It's on the Dev Portal, not on the App Store ...

 

SWEET!

Now I can develop for the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5/5C/5S....

AT THE SAME TIME!

 

Clearly, the most exciting announcement is this resizable iPhone and iPad hardware! How DO they do it?!

 

Hint Hint Hint

 

Someone forgot to hide that for beta realise

 

As a non-developer I hope I'm able to get the Yosemite beta sooner rather than later.

 

Oh sweet. I made a comment earlier about the possible iPhone 6 and realized that Apple had for two years now, have made "Special" Fall announcements in Sept. and October. So I guess that means the iPhone 6 and the possible iWatch……. ?????

 

They said there would be a public beta program for OSX. So you will get your Yosemite, no worries.

EDIT: public beta will be limited to the first 1M users. So be quick

 

Maybe for one-handed capability

Hmmm... how about resizing 4.7" or 5.5" screen to 4" to allow one-handed operation--maybe with an edge gesture or tilt-n-shake?

 

Well there it is folks.

 

No, you really don't want b1 or b2 unless you are installing into a VM or on a separate machine.

 

Done .

Looks like they're bringing at least 1 iPad feature to the iPhone.

This should be like the preferences/Mail app on the iPadbut for the iPhone.

Huh? iOS doesn't use pixel mapping, so I don't think this can be true. Apps are displayed exactly the same, whether it's retina or not.
