fmgo13 Portrait and landscape sizes for iPhone 6 plus

[Scrimshaw]

I am about to get my iPhone 6 plus and have a number of files setup for my current 3.5inch iPhone screen. Does anyone have the dimensions I need to customise the outline template when modifying those files for the iPhone 6 plus please.

Thank you, Scrimshaw.  I was actually looking for this exact same thing.  Patiently waiting for a reply.

I don't think you need to modify anything. FM Go should resize the layout appropriately. You should probably hold off and see what your layouts looks like on the 6 before changing anything.

 

Regardless, if you really want to know the display dimensions, google works pretty well.

I updated the iOS Window Preview module to include the new device sizes. I haven't had the opportunity to test hands-on with the new devices, but I've made my best calculations based on the information available.

 

Design your layouts for 5.5" iPhones (6+) to fit in 641 pt tall by 414 pt wide for vertical orientation, and 349 pt tall by 736 pt wide for landscape orientation.

 

If the iPhone 6+ is the only device you have to support, that should be enough. However, it may still be good exercise to design for a smaller layout and using object resizing to expand for the larger devices as appropriate.

Thanx, jbante.  I appreciate the guesstimates.  I will play with them when i get my iPhone 6+ and see how they work.  At least I have a baseline to start with.

Thanks jbante. I will set up a couple and see how they go when my new iPhone 6 plus arrives in a  couple of days

FileMaker updated their screen size documentation. I was right.
