Hi guys,

I’m pretty sure we’re all excited about our pre-orders for our new iPhone 12’s, however I just had a thought, whenever we see a change in screen size, in this instant from 5.8 to 6.1, 6.5 to 6.7, I wonder how apps will look like? Before Developers update their apps, are we going to see them stretched etc?

I think it depends on the app. Apps that use Apple’s dynamic display (wrong name, “auto layout”?) APIs will sale. Apps with more custom UIs will need to be updated.

Apple already has 6.1” phones. There shouldn’t be any stretching.
