The tenacity with which Apple ignores accepted industry standards, is a byword. Was no exception and the future iPhone 6. As you know, today the market is dominated by resolution 16: 9 - 1280 x 720, 1920 x 1080, and recently gaining popularity and resolution 2560 x 1440 pixels. 16:10 sometimes used, but in this case the resolution standardized. For some unknown reason, Apple does not want to use a matrix of standard definition for iPhone 6. assumed that developers adhere to the Cupertino-based single index ppi, tying him to the rest of the display settings.
To date there are several versions. One claims screens innovations will be 1704 x 960 resolution, and the other based on the lines of code in the SDK Xcode 6, indicates that it may be somewhat smaller and 1472 x 828. A third version according to which the display unit 4, 7 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 will have a different resolution. Such an assumption made by the author of the blog Daring Fireball's John Gruber.
Journalist traced the history of the upgrade to the iPhone display, and armed the Pythagorean theorem, did the calculations and came to the conclusion that Apple may use one double and tripling indicator permission. According to him, it will facilitate the designers to adapt the software from the App Store under the new diagonal and will allow users to seamlessly use their existing applications. In the case of the 5.5-inch model, the device will get the screen «Super Retina».
Based on the calculations Gruber, displays iPhone 6 will have the following permissions:
- 4.7-inch 1334 × 750 pixels, 326ppi - @ 2x
- 5.5-inch display: 2208 × 1242 pixels, 461ppi - @ 3x
Three times the pixel density is too high, which is why Apple will hardly reach such performance if he wants to keep iPhone 6 thin and light, not to mention the length of time of its battery life. From this point of view, the theory with a single solution for 4,7 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 seems most likely. In any case it remains to wait for anything at all, since September 9 Apple show news firsthand.
