Today we take a look at the new iOS 8 size classes that were introduced to the world at WWDC, and what they might mean for the future. All indications are that larger iPhones are coming this fall, and there are other rumors of a split-screen iPad. If iPhone windows get bigger, and iPad windows get smaller, will the line between the two devices start to blur? What might that mean for developers who sell separate iPhone and iPad versions of their apps? Will all apps be expected to be Universal? We consider those questions and more in today’s discussion.
