Devs would have a completely new resolution. This maintains compatibility without having a ton of black bars around the screen. And yes, I realize it letterboxes with older apps. But I don't want vertical black bars too.
- mirsadm 14y agoThey could have scaled it in one direction and keep the black bars only on one side. It is really silly not to use 1280x720.
- masklinn 14y ago> They could have scaled it in one direction Yes, I'm sure "blurry as fuck" is what people look for in a backward compatibility feature. With 2:1 already dodgy, 9:8 scaling would have flown really well
- andrewmunsell 14y agoSo you want them to do the very thing you are complaining about with not having 720p? I don't know about you, but I use my phone for apps more than watching 720p video and I'd rather not have my email be blurry...
- to3m 14y ago"Older apps" = "everything made up until about 45 minutes ago"?
- andrewmunsell 14y agoWell, yes. Basically. It's just like the Retina display release.
