iOS 6 scales perfectly to the rumored taller resolution of the next-generation iPhone, according to tests run by people playing around with the latest beta seeded by Apple this week.

After making the discovery described in the above paragraph, 9to5mac could also confirm that the iOS Simulator (an emulator app included with Xcode) does not correctly display five rows of icons at resolutions other than 640 x 1136. In other words, this is pretty much all the evidence we need to confirm the next iPhone’s resolution.

There has been a lot of debate as to whether the iPhone 5 will boast a bigger display or not. Many believe it’s simply a given. Competitors have an army of huge smartphones waiting for the iPhone 5 to poke its head out from afar, albeit still scared that Apple’s smartphone will make it to front row in a matter of weeks.
