New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

Actually I just want all the Chinese characters to be bigger and everything else can go fuck right off to hell

iPad does that, but i don't think it works with the various phone proportions (4 > 5 > 6) and they have to be coded for

I saw a guy on the street wearing a shirt that just said 'STEVE JOBS' and I really wanted one :(

the only people who care about os x are in this thread

the thing is if you just use bigger pixels on a bigger iphone youre kinda ignoring the whole point of a bigger device, like it needs to provide actually more area to do stuff not just magnify things, also as dan said bigger pixels would break the retina

resolution independence is also helped when at least you know screens will have the same proportions, if not density (16:9, 16:10 etc) but i feel like it's just a pipe dream nobody at Apple (or anywhere for that matter) seems to care about right now. (but I care!)

what qualifies as a "retina display" for apple is pretty clear

you hold the device X inches away from your face, if you can't see pixels, it's retina

and the length varies between devices because apparently you hold your ipad further away or something

When I start my chillwave band our name will be STEVE JOBS

yeah so if the current iphone retina is tuned for its size if u make it bigger its no longer retina xp

band name shd 100% be STEVE JOB tho

wasn't there a rumor they were actually going to increase the ppi for the new devices?

Damn that was a good suggestion. You wanna be in this band

yes def lets put together a deck

drew houston doesn't want that gif in this thread

Actually I think resolution independence means a different thing than unifying all the iOS resizes

Before I get corrected

I kinda wonder if the larger iPhones are gonna have better battery life since they can stick in bigger batteries now. I wonder how much more power the larger displays draw

resolution independence is never gonna happen. Retina double-sizing does what Apple wants.

iOS 7 does have much better auto-layout stuff, but even so if they change the aspect ratio a lot of shit's going to break. Unless they put letterboxing on old-style apps, maybe?

well, they've done it once before so they may do it again

android seems like it might be more flexible because it has to be

that's correct, also a reason android apps are generally worse

i need to jump out of this thread for a bit, but check out that vimeo link i posted upthread

naw

. . .

why would you say that?

If iOS achieves resolution independence or w/e before OSX I'm gonna murder Steve Cook

lol otm

no one gives a shit

there's a reason os x is getting a redesign this year

lol @ retina having a constant definition

I half bought it until they were like "well, the iPad has retina resolution!" and then they released an iPad mini with the same amount of pixels

damn does that iPad mini have a lot of pixels in a lil' size

hey markers the number of desktops/laptops being used on the reg probably pale compared to iDevices now but you have to realize people do use them

unless you are assuming that everyone just owns a Windows desktop

sure, which is why this will come eventually

i'm on an imac right now

what percentage of their revenue comes from macs? right.

what percentage of iOS applications are developed on macs

a lot. who cares?

sorry mh. i like you. i need to get out of this thread for a while though.

thread got weird

why would you say that?

OTM

there goes the fuelband

ohh, you mean this
http://www.cnet.com/news/nike-fires-fuelband-engineers-will-stop-making-wearable-hardware/

yeah although it looks like that article's now disputed perhaps a little bit

not the article per se but it's primary assertion

as others have noted, tim cook is on their board

and has apparently been there for a long time
