Is there a reason that UITouch's locationInView: is unaware of the presence (or not) of a retina display? Why is the rescaling for retina display left as a task for the developer. Seems odd to me.
Thanks,
Doug

I have to scale the locationInView manually, it seems odd to me too. – Angus Forbes May 14 '12 at 22:18

It's by design. The location is reported as in points, not as in pixels. From Apple's Event Handling Guide:
iOS 4.0 still reports touches on iPhone 4 (and on future high-resolution devices) in a 320x480 coordinate space to maintain source compatibility, but the resolution is twice as high in each dimension for applications built for iOS 4.0 and later releases.
