Question about the new retina on ipad?

Question

iPad

They write joyfully about this space screen resolution, but I have two questions:
- a large number of sites have a fixed width of 960px, others, although they are rubber, are also designed for this width or up to 1280px. Does this mean that on the new retina display, sites will either be a thin strip or look overly stretched? Scaling, of course, works well on iOs, but pictures in jpg will be difficult to stretch.
- about the same question about the video - it probably makes no sense to watch lower than 720p - it will not stretch in acceptable quality. Plus, if 1080p now weighs 4GB, then in the native resolution of the retina screen it will be twice as large :/
Has anyone seen the tests, or has an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bhow this will all work?

Answer 1

In the metric system, nothing will change drastically. Sites will be displayed to the full width of the device, just like large sites fit on 1024 pixels of the second iPad, just like the size of displayed sites on iPhone 3Gs -> iPhone 4 did not change. The
question about the video did not quite understand.
So don't worry.

Answer 2

I didn't quite understand sineborod's answer. I myself am a fan of high resolution and use Dell laptops. Screen 15. Resolution 1920×1080. I see little pictures every day. If a neighbor at 1280×800 has a website header of 1024×200 pixels, then it is almost full width. I have it only on half the screen. The only way to make it full screen is to work with the operating system in Photoshop → resize the picture on the fly. Perhaps the new iPad does just that, not without reason it has 4 graphics cores. But this is a utopia in my opinion. It is necessary to start with users so that they post photos on Yandex.photos at a maximum resolution of 2500 × 2500 pixels (but then the communication channels will end, pump 25 times more volume), and not cut down to 800 × 600. That's when the meaning of the retina will be. And so everything is either small or distortedly enlarged.
PS The problem is, in fact, only with pictures, everything else scales well enough.

Answer 3

Of course, I'm wildly sorry, but sineborod and Hint mislead readers. Especially Hint, which claims nonsense about the screen resolution of The New iPad.
I am attaching a screenshot from the screen of the new iPad (Safari with the site):

and with the iPhoto application for iPad:

Everyone is free to calculate its dimensions on their own. Whom I'm too lazy to tell - 2048x1536.
