I remember when 16:9 became the new 'standard'. That didn't last long. Nowhere near as long as 4:3. Soon after we started seeing 16:10 and 5:4. Now we are starting to see these Ultrawides at about 21:9. It won't stop.
Do you remember when there were only 2 screen ratios for iPhone and iPad? Heady days! It's worth splitting your apps up into panels that are each width/height adjustable. Then have your app geometry adjust to the users desires and limitations. It's a lot of coding as the geometry controls aren't always perfect (even the 3rd party ones) but it gives the user greater freedom.
