Mark... Thanks for the reply... I have already a couple of apps in the store that will run at the correct size, ie both on the iphone 4 and the iphone 5... I am not using any images... I am vague about whether we have to now only develop in a stack size of 640 x 960, for the iphone 4 or 640 x 1136 for the 5... or can I still lay it out at 320 x 480 as long as graphics and buttons are moved to appropriate places if the user should choose the run the app on an iphone 5 ?
