+These are all at least twice or three times the resolution of the older models.
 However, **all apps are still designed in non-retina resolutions** (1024x768, 568x320 and 480x320) and then iOS automatically scales the applications to the higher resolution of the "Retina Displays". In the scaling process, Apple implemented a method of using higher resolution graphics on these devices, whilst using the original graphics for the low resolution devices.
