The latest launch of Apple's iPhone 5 got mixed reviews and faced a lot of criticism from mobile app developers & iPhone game developers. While its new & bigger screen size has attracted many developers, many iPhone game developers are not so happy and convinced with its design & form.
One of the biggest challenges for iPhone app developers is to accept with the whopping 4-inch screen size of the iPhone 5. Moreover, with the change in design, developers will have to deal with a totally different aspect ratio as well as separation in iOS devices.
No need to mention that now iPhone game developers will have to design and develop games that not only run smoothly on previous versions of iPhone & iPad, but are also compatible with the larger screen of the iPhone 5. So let's find out whether this latest launch from Apple could be really beneficial or not.
