Video Shows What an iPhone Game Would Look Like on Taller iPhone Screen

How very obvious. But this is a great way for this developer to get some free attention (which I'm not knocking).

Yeah: "Gee, the longer screen allows you to see more vertically!"

In other news, closing your eyes makes everything darker!

Seems like a publicity seeker to me.

to me this shows just how little the extra length adds.

That's what she said...

Wake me up when September comes.

I'm impressed. this video is very well constructed.

I really hope that the taller screen isnt the killer feature here...a hour plus keynote about how 'magical' the extra height is will really be taking the piss.

You just know that they are going to go on about how you can see full hd widescreen videos and stuff.

Sorry, but this is NOT a reason to upgrade to the new iPhone.

T.T

Egg Drop! will support a taller screen when the iPhone 5 comes out, just like it supported iPad and Retina. I last updated it 15 months ago, but all I had to do was NOT HARDCODE THE DIMENSIONS! Holy crap other devs, stop hardcoding things! The following should NEVER be in your code:

- Numbers based on pixels (base it on inches or percentages, never pixels!)
- Strings that the user will see. (It's a little harder to program, but it's worth it in the end because it makes localization later on a breeze.)

Also, avoid using bitmap images. Use Apple's standard UI elements when you can, and quartz drawing commands when you can't.

Each and every one of you complaining about having to support another dimension or pixel density need to just stop sucking when you write your code. Follow MVC, then take its concept of dividing stuff up a little further and keep your resources out of your code. It makes supporting new devices effortless.

Sorry, but this is NOT a reason to upgrade to the new iPhone.

you still dont get it -- youre not *supposed* to upgrade to the new phone every year. only phone geeks do that...the millions & millions & millions of normal customers dont.

apple doesnt release a new phone each year to appease phone geeks. they continue improve what they consider to be the greatest mobile phone in the world. this is incremental, similar to a car's annual improvements. evolutionary, not revolutionary.

Wake me up when September comes.

I see what you did there. Since it will not launch until the end:
