Most apps people actually use will look fine because there's a team of mobile devs in all big companies who get paid to keep up with Apple breaking their apps every year with their 'updates' (among other things).

I mean, don't expect advanced features like consistent smooth scrolling, non-broken UI, absence of animation flickers, cloud sync that works consistently even for paid apps developed by Apple or anybody else but other than that :)

This is the first time we get an iPhone skew that is significantly different and with no sales track record.

For instance, very few company bothered to do anything for the Vision Pro. Now we'll see if Google or Microsoft for instance see the iPhone Duo as a main line product or an exotic offshoot that needs to prove itself before any money is spent on it.

In plenty of big companies one month is not even enough time to get a new release into production, let alone test and fix the layouts.

None seem to be working at Meta.

How many years has it been for them to release an upscaled (zero extra features!) version of instagram and whatsapp for iPad?

Two of the most used apps in the world
