I’m trying to assess my array of devices and versions for testing with iPhone

  • 0

I’m trying to assess my array of devices and versions for testing with iPhone 5 coming out. we’ve got:

  • iPhone 5 with iOS 6
  • iPhone 4S with iOS 5
  • iPhone 4 with iOS 5
  • iPhone 4 with iOS 4
  • iPad 1 with iOS 5

I definitely want to keep something with iOS 4 (although soon that might not be necessary), but i was going to sell the iPhone 4 w/ iOS 5. Is it important to have a iPhone 4 or 4S with iOS 6 or will having iPhone 5 with iOS 6 be sufficient to test for that iOS version?

    I’d say you also need an iPad with iOS 6. Testing with and without retina displays may be crucially important for some applications. iOS 4 support will be quickly waning, and probably only people who have pre-iPhone 3GS devices will care. If they can’t bother to download an iOS release, why would they download your app?
