    Pocketcasts has a landscape mode that also looks great on the iPhone 6

    "And if you can’t use a feature yourself, adding it to your app just isn’t going to be a high priority." Pretty sure the point of designing and releasing an app is to service others' needs, not (just) your own. For example, I don't use Android devices but that doesn't mean I'm not going to design apps for them.

      Very true Jola, but I think there is a tendency to prioritize features you want yourself over things you might not be able to try every day.

    It's unclear how popular the 6 Plus will be, since it's only been out a short while. This is probably the most common reason developers have not been quick to capitalise on this new pattern.

    Its obviously really common (and pretty easy) to make a responsive web app that displays a sidebar on wider screens. I'm assuming that it is much more difficult to do this in iOS?

      It's easier nowadays with things like auto layout, I think one big issue is that a lot of developers were slow to adopt auto layout (since it was really buggy at first), so adjusting to larger screen sizes is a much bigger job since you often first have to switch to a new layout technology.

        autolayout isn't want's needed here, you need to use part of the new 'responsive' layout tool to dynamic lay things out. It's more difficult than even just creating a iPad version of your application because now you have to support new inbetween paradigms. If you have a really basic UITableview then it won't be too hard, but it might not be worth it just yet.

        Give it 6months and everyone will have something for the plus.

    Could be that devs/designers need more time to play around with the different display sizes. The types of UI we have now doesn't really play well with bigger screens.
