My iPhone app on a iPad Air is perfect with no 2x/4x graphics

Only got a iPad 1 and iPhone 4s, so never really tried my apps on anything higher.

Anyway developed a app that targets iPhone and iPod, so didn’t bother with 2x graphics etc… Graphics where all designed with the phone in mind. Looks perfect on my iPhone (as you would expect), tried it on my iPad just really as another device to test and in 1x mode it looks as it does on iPhone but in 2x mode, you basically can’t read the text it’s all jaggy, again as you would expect.

Got a chance to try it on a iPad Air and in 2x mode, it looks like a iPad app. You would think I had 1x, 2x and 4x graphics on it.

Can some tell me why this is please (is this unique to the Air) and do we need to bother with iPad graphics anymore ?

The iPad Air can probably through more graphics processing to images it’s upsizing to make them look better, but it’s only an illusion, depending on the image, it would still be better to provide higher quality images.   Corona generated text (display.newText()) should scale up automatically for you.
