What resolution to design NEW App?

[mradamward]

We are about to start work on the graphical interface for a new App. What resolution will it need to be? Do I have to create 3 different versions for different iPhones? I read this article and it confused me a little. Any help would be much appreciated;

“To support iPhone 5, we’ll have to design and code for three resolutions: 480×320 (older iPhones), 960×640 (Retina display), and now 1136×640 (iPhone 5) and we’ll have to rework screens to show more options and redo fixed height graphics.”


Thanks,
Adam

Or, just don't support older iPhones and create designs for 960x640 only, with black matting for the extra pixels on the 5. Problem solved.

Yes you need to design for all three resolutions.
