App Developers Happy to Create for a Larger iPhone Screen

According to AppleInsider, GigaOm has been in contact with several app developers to get their opinions about the possibility of the next iPhone having a screen of at least 4 inches, as has recently been rumoured by several reliable sources. Judging by the report, it seems as though most developers would not have any problem with having to make iPhone apps for a larger screen. Lenny Rachitsky, CEO of social discovery app Localmind, for example, told GigaOm that he doesn’t expect Apple to “pull an Android and fragment the market unnecessarily,” and make developers have to adjust their apps for lots of different sized screens. Rachitsky went on to say that he was confident that Apple would provide the necessary tools to migrate its apps to an iPhone with a larger screen. And of course many developers will already be familiar with developing for Android phones with larger screens anyway, so it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for them at all.
