since the iPad 3("The New iPad") has twice the pixels I obliviously have my make any images twice as big. But my question is since it has twice the pixels if I am manually placing an object on screen, with say CGRectMake, will it appear in different places on the iPad2 from the iPad3?
say I'm using the code below to position a button on screen: 

 CGRectMake(375,500,125,125);

since its positioned at 375 pixels on the X coordinate wouldn't it appear in different places on the iPad 2 vs the iPad3 since the iPad3 has twice as many pixels?

I'm sure this is a dumb question that any mildly experienced iOS developer would laugh at but since a simple Google search didn't turn anything up I figured id ask.

Thanks!

Though the amount of pixels may differ among devices, Core Graphic's coordinate system does not. This is because CG expresses itself in points, not pixels.

    Ok thanks, I figured it was something like that but I figured it wa better to ask than to learn the hard way :) – Praxder Apr 22 '12 at 18:46
