It ’s iPad Day ! Hurray ! All your favorite iPad apps , made retina - displayable ! Hurr — not so fast . Ifwhat Instapaper godfather and iOS dev guru Marco Arment saysis true , we might be await just a bite longer before we see many retina - gauge apps making their agency onto the new iPad .
Arment has been sending Instapaper data to user with 2x resolution for months . He assume that a retina display was fall , and had hop that the new iPad would automatically recognize the high-pitched firmness of purpose nontextual matter automagically . Nope .
Here ’s the deal alternatively :
I learned just yesterday that this is n’t the case : the young iPad will only show Retina art for an app if it has been build with the brand - new version of the developer creature that were issue last week .
Because there ’s a bit of a reversion on Apple ’s approval unconscious process for apps , there was basically no direction he was going to make it out by release Clarence Shepard Day Jr. no matter what he did . Even if it was a unbowed embrasure of the current Instapaper , it would still be late by a calendar week or more . He decided to make a full update and unloosen a bit subsequently instead .
Clearly it was n’t an insurmountable hole to wax out of , since democratic apps like Evernote , Twitter , the NY Times , The Daily , Kindle , WordPress , and Infinity Blade II are all retina - ready . But if your favorite apps are n’t quick and wait in überpixel form today , this is probably the reason . [ Marco Arment ]
