iOS Beta Build 51 Settings 6 Plus
iOS Beta Build 51 Settings
iPhone 6 Plus running 11.4.1
-
While browsing Settings with the 6 Plus in a portrait (or vertical orientation) menu selection moves as one would expect. .
In the midst of browsing Settings in portrait orientation, turning the phone from portrait into landscape (or horizontal orientation) appears to generate some aberrant behavior. The menu system does not appear to work as one might expect.
-
It would also appear on the 6 Plus that menu descriptions are somewhat obscured in some cases. Visually, it appears as though any MMD Composer Setting descriptor with more than 5-6 words does not render the complete description. A portion is cut-off.
- Text size in iOS Display & Brightness Settings is about halfway. No bold or zoom options enabled.
- Likewise, no accessibility options are enabled to scale up font size

Hmmm... I think the Plus sized phones seem to get confused as to whether to behave like an iPhone or an iPad. It looks like in portrait, iOS treats the device like an iPhone where the table is given the entire screen. When rotated to landscape, it decided to become an iPad and the table switches to the "master" spot in a typical "master-detail" view on an iPad.
I'll have to dig into exactly what's going on and how to fix it. I would prefer that the table take the entire screen, just like it does on a regular iPhone. That gives you additional space to read what's going on.
Thanks,
Fletcher

While I understand the goal of having the settings in a window in the middle, for iPhone Plus, this seems to be the worst option. I might look at doing it for iPad, but iPhone needs the landscape view to allow for longer preferences to be visible.
I do understand Marco's thoughts about Overcast and forcing it to stay in portrait mode. For his app, it makes sense. For a text editor, it would have to be landscape if I picked one, in order to allow use of the preview. But I myself prefer to type in portrait (the keyboard seems to work better that way). So I think I'm forced to supporting both.
Thanks for your comments on the other apps.
