Platform Characteristics iOS-based devices share several unique characteristics that influence the user experience of all applications that run on them. The most successful apps embrace these characteristics and provide a user experience that integrates with the device they’re running on. The Display Is Paramount, Regardless of Its Size The display of an iOS-based device is at the heart of the user’s experience.

On a standard-resolution device screen, one point equals one pixel, but other resolutions might dictate a different relationship. On a Retina display, for example, one point equals two pixels. See?“Points Versus Pixels”?in?iOS Application Programming Guide?for a complete discussion of this concept. Device Orientation Can Change People can rotate iOS-based devices at any time and for a variety of reasons. For example, sometimes the task people are performing feels more natural in portrait, and sometimes
