When the iPad was released in 2010, designers worked to convert applications to work on the new size, and in the same year the iPhone 4 was released and designers began for the second time to modify their applications to suit doubling the size of the application and at the beginning of 2012 Apple released the iPad Retina so that designers come back to update their applications again Again, so the release of the iPhone 5 changes in the size of the screen and the number of pixels, which prompts them to modify their applications again, but this time is not as difficult as the previous times, so let's see together how the applications will look in the iPhone 5 in its current form and without special support for the four-inch screen ...

The task of updating applications to be compatible with the new iPhone is the easiest compared to previous updates because the change came in the length of the screen and not its width. Applications that browse the Internet such as Safari, Chrome, Opera, all the change will be that they will display a larger area of ​​the page only, and there are other applications that will increase The size of the background in which the same elements of the current application move, as for the games, a large number of them will not suffer in supporting the size of the screen, for example, the Angry Birds game is a bird that is thrown at the pigs with a fixed background, so the company will now increase the width of the background (display because the phone holds the display when Play it) and other simple changes to have their app ready.

This means that, unlike the new iPad, which has doubled in length and width, designers are working from the start on designing everything in the application to fit the new dimensions, which led to doubling the sizes of applications as well. We mentioned earlierBut this time the changes will be minor (size), which of course means an increase in the sizes of applications, but it is not a big increase as happened with the iPad, as we have previously indicated.

Now let's see how non-compatible apps will look like the new iPhone:

The user will not feel a large, cumbersome difference, and it will not happen like Android that you find some applications that "swim" in some phones because their size is not compatible with the size of the screen, but here the application opens in the middle and the developer has 176 pixels in front of him to fill them, and we expect to find some developers filling this space Not by changing and modifying the app itself, but they can put advertisements bar for their apps or general ads and the app remains as it is.

But what about the keyboard? !! If the application opens in the middle and there is this 88-pixel black bar, will this cause difficulties in writing because the keyboard will appear above the traditional level, so let's look at the following picture:

The change is less than expected, yes, a black bar was added at the bottom of the application, which raised the keyboard to the top as expected, but there is another factor which is that the iPhone 5 screen starts below the situation that we are used to in the iPhone 4 and 4S because Apple has increased the length of the screen 14% To become 4 inches, but the length of the phone itself increased only 7%, which means that Apple reduced the distance between the screen and the device's letters, and that the iPhone 5 screen would start below the old mode and end higher than it as well, and therefore, in the case of the application is compatible, the keyboard will appear slightly below the traditional mode as it appears. In the conventional image.

Islam iPhone applications and iPhone 5

The iPhone Islam team is currently working on updating all the company's applications to be compatible with the new phone, but of course this will require time for several reasons, including:

  1. The number of iPhone Islam and MINV applications that must be updated reaches 35 applications, and this is a large number that needs to be done for quite some time.
  2. We are already working on updating the current software and adding features to it, and its approval of the iPhone 5 will be one of these updates and not the only update.
  3. There are applications in their final stages that have not yet been published, and we will also seek to come out with support for the iPhone 5.
  4. There are some apps that need modifications that are not simple in design so it will take time.
  5. Apple takes two weeks to approve any update, and sometimes the period reaches a month or more in cases of pressure, such as now, where all companies around the world are working to develop their applications and send them to Apple, so there will be pressure to delay the updating of applications.

But there is news that we are happy to bleed to you, which is that some of our applications have already become supportive of the iPhone 5 and are being uploaded to the App Store, and in most cases any new application for us will be supportive of the iPhone 5, so this is what you are used to from us ...

In the coming period, we will stop producing any new applications, and we will focus on maintaining all current applications, apart from compatibility with iOS 6 and iPhone 5 screen support. There will be application updates and new features, God willing. If you have any suggestion for any of our applications, you can send it to us to provide it. In the next updates.

Do you feel that using applications that are not compatible with iPhone 5 would be easy? And is the incompatibility of some applications for him perhaps pushing you to delay the purchase of the new phone? Share your opinion
