[Development] Qt on iOS retina display

[Gianluca]

Hello Martin,
it’s not Qt … it’s iOS world that works in this way !!
Even if you develop in fully native iOS with SDK, you can access only to the “virtual” resolution of the screen that it’s always the same for the same devices family and then change the pixel ratio.
So, for all iPads, even in fully native iOS you alway get the resolution of 1024x768, and you’ve never access to the real resolution.

The funny thing happens with iPhone 6 Plus that it’s very absurd. Because the “virtual” resolution is not even a perfect integer division of the real pixel resolution :-)
That’s the strangeness of the iOS world; Welcome !

Ciao,
Gianluca.
