screen resolutions.

We’re building our app to be compatible with both iPhone and iPhone 4.

Do you suggest building it for iPhone then do the upscaling to iPhone 4? or the other way around and down scale.

What is the resolution, width and height of these devices - asked by the illustrators!

Downscaling is heavy on the texture memory - it uses 4x more than upscaling, so use upscaling and use an image suffix so that your graphics still look good on a retina display.

the original iphones screen - 320 x 480
iPhone 4 screen - 640 x 960

That’s what I have been told as well (upscaling vs down). So I just adopted using 480x320 and using 2 sets of images for the various iphone 3/4 phones.

Also you may find this post handy (or not lol), but it’s my quick reference to common screen sizes and such. Comes in handy to remember the icons you need as well as setting up the dynamic image resolution.

Good luck!
