Universal Apps Need to be Separate Downloads in a Retina World
let me preface saying best of knowledge, when download universal application, downloading application has both iphone/ipod , ipad assets in file. entire argument based off of , if i'm wrong in saying it, please correct me.
becoming major issue though. apple has gone retina on both ipad , iphone, has ballooned size of applications. apple has not increased capacity on devices. creating problem, because apps become more advanced , contain higher quality imagery, take lot more space. major issue universal apps.
doesn't apply applications. apps might have few small images , difference in file size few mb's. apps, garageband, have huge difference in file size. garageband has ballooned 1gb on iphone, , know lot of increased file size high quality ipad retina display imagery, imagery have absolutely 0 use on iphone.
major problem universal apps apple needs address. don't know how can addressed, apple needs create way iphone universal apps don't have ipad files, , vice versa. limited capacity on devices, can't afford this. between garageband, imovie, keynote, pages, numbers, & iphoto, bet have on 1gb of useless ipad retina files stored on applications on iphone never seen on phone. thats few hundred songs, or few tv shows.
apple needs create kind of api when download universal application device, app automatically deletes assets used other devices. example when download garageband on iphone, should delete ipad image files. or there need device specific downloads.
thoughts?
i agree. device-specific downloads while still maintaining purchasing power of universal apps.
