has someone tried running existing ipad apps on new released version of ipad? how will the existing apps behave in ipad3?

whether all existing ipad apps run on ipad3 as well without any changes or do they necessary need an upgrade with the high resolution images and icons? if existing apps will run, will they look similar to how iphone apps run on ipad (a smaller screen size with option to scale them to ipad resolution).

I haven't tried apps on the iPad 3, because it still hasn't been released, but I guess it'll be like running iPhone apps without Retina support on a device with the Retina display, i.e. they will work but will look ugly and pixelated. An update with high resolution artwork wouldn't be necessary but definitely recommended.

  • Any idea if the same method as in iphone(3 vs retina) will be followed. what i mean to say is will the same code with only image change of @2x do the trick? – B K Mar 12 '12 at 13:22
  • Hard to say, but maybe, yeah. Can't you just wait until Friday? :) – ySgPjx Mar 12 '12 at 13:24
  • I could wait until Friday but a customer is sitting on my head :) And yes the same thing will work. Found it here. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9611061/how-to-support-both-ipad-and-iphone-retina-graphics-in-universal-apps – B K Mar 12 '12 at 13:28
