Get at me

Is this in the works? Seems like a fairly simple update.

OT: Are you asking if they are going to update it for iOS6? What is wrong with it now? You do not have to update the app when a "new" iphone comes out.

Apples fault for making the strangest skinny screen ever, not bungie's.
Why should they completely tailor their app to fit ONE phone... Apple should have just used normal screen dimensions. There are plenty of 4+ inch screens that Bungie's app works on. For example, my 4.3 inch RAZR runs the app fine.

Because that is what apps are supposed to do. Update for newer builds when they come out. I'd assume you'll see a newer build when the new hotness arrives, wouldn't hold my breath until then.

Thanks for your constructive input instead of just bashing apple.

I'm sure bungie will update the wallpapers as well at some stage.

Yeah, a perfect 16:9 HD aspect ratio is just crazy sounding.

lol.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

I imagine that they might just have it support the iPhone 5's screen when they update it for bungie.next.

For you, Justin

OT: this is why I like my Windows Phone. No silly apps, which also means no silly app updates. I can view B.net from my phone as if I were viewing it from my laptop.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Why was that for me? I didn't enjoy that picture one bit.

OT: You'll have to wait for the app to get updated, get in the back of the line with the rest of us and wait.

I'd rather they wait for an update until the next overhaul of the app in general, not just an update so that the app is fully compatible with the 5.

  • 10.11.2012 5:26 PM PDT

Probably gonna get something when the site is updated. No sense in updating an app just to make it bigger when it is probably gonna be completely overhauled relatively soon.

But I do agree the black bars are annoying :(

Firstly why do you have an iPhone 5? And secondly why do you have an iPhone 5?

You do know there are two separate applications, right? Saying your [Android] RAZR runs the [Android] app is completely irrelevant when the topic is the iPhone application.

This sentence sounds like it comes from a 10-year-old.

WTF? You shouldn't talk about something you apparently have no clue of. First things first:
There are two seperate apps. One for iOS and one for Android. As the aspect ratio of the iPhone (and iPod touch) display has always been the same there was no need to adjust apps until the newest generation (except once for higher resolution). Android apps on the other side have to be adjusted to many different displays with different resolutions/aspect ratios. There are no "normal" screen dimensions. So the reason why the app works fine on your RAZR is that Android apps from the beginning are designed for many different displays. iOS apps are only designed for two displays (for the retina and the standard display).
