On the iPhone 6+, software can, in fact, address native screen pixels. This is even quite easy. However, that is not the default API behavior, the application must specifically request device native pixels by setting a certain flag. Typically, general GUI apps would not bother because it's easier that way, games would flip the switch for performance, and more sophisticated apps (photo apps, perhaps) would flip the switch as well.
- jacobolus 10y agoAh, okay. I guess I misunderstood precisely how it worked. I haven’t actually ever used an iPhone 6+ myself. Thanks for the correction. Still though, the point remains that most apps use the setting with resampling and most users don’t seem to obviously mind.
