For app developers, iPhone 5's bigger screen is a mixed blessing
It happens every year. Apple announces a new iPhone and iOS, and developers have about a week to update their apps to work on the new hardware and software. Most years, the process isn't too difficult, but some years, Apple updates the iPhone's display and developers need to put in extra legwork to prevent their apps from looking like crap. Last year it was adapting to the retina screen and this year its adapting to the larger screen. No one wants their app enveloped by ugly black letterboxes. Fortunately, developers say that updating apps for the iPhone 5's 4-inch screen won't be as tough as you might expect. But is taller better?
