Hi Team,

Some users complained that their mobile application UI  looked smaller than 
before with SDK 4.11 on iPads
Cf. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33861

I explained in the JIRA tickets that this was because iPad 2 DPI is now 120, 
(was: 160) which is closer to its actual DPI (132).

I did some more testing on iPad 2 and iPad 3 ,  using "out-of-the-box" mobile 
UI items (no applicationDPI, no custom runtimeDPIProvider)
and it appears that Flex mobile default UI heights are about 75% the heights of 
"reference" iOS apps ( Email, Settings, Photos).
This includes top bar height, top bar title ascent, default list height, 
default list text ascent, etc.
(Detailed measures in comment in the ticket ).

Coincidentally,  75% = 120 / 160 , which means the old incorrect DPI gave 
actually correct sizes.

I don't know the history and context of Flex Mobile, and how the original CSS 
@media settings were determined, but IMO, they are not good anymore.

What do you think?

Maurice
