Im creating an App for iPhone5 and it runs good in iPhone 6.0 simulator (with 4-inch display). Now i wanna test it on my New iPad, which has been upgrade to iOS6, but the screen is automatically shrinking into 3.5-inch. Is there anyway to keep the screen being 4-inch on New iPad? Thanks in advance:)

What's yoour approach for showing views in iPad? – Aniruddh Sep 20 '12 at 10:54

1I don't think that it would make sense to have that mode. The "2x" button would make the view stretch right off the screen. – borrrden Sep 20 '12 at 13:30

@OhhMee A size with 640x1136px 4-inch screen. – lu yuan Sep 21 '12 at 01:31

@borrrden Good point, but apple can make the 2x mode to be 2x 3.5inch but not 2x 4-inch :) – lu yuan Sep 21 '12 at 01:34

3But why bother? There is no point...that mode is a backup mode for people who don't make universal apps, it is not meant to be used as a primary mode. – borrrden Sep 21 '12 at 01:53

The "compatibility mode" on iPad runs iPhone-only apps in their 320x480 format—in essence, it is compatible with iPhone <5. There is no way to make it compatible with the 320x568 format used by iPhone 5 and iPod touch (3rd Gen).
So it will always run with your app’s "standard" layout, not the "high" one.
Thus, the short answer is "no".
