Firstly, I am new here so sorry if i've done anything wrong!
I was updating multiple applications on my iPhone 4, as you do. In the hopes that the application's would have new Retina Display compatible icons, when i noticed that when the application icons were dulled out with the little update load bar, the icons were high-res retina display compatible, so then i assumed that it was because they'd changed the icon and that it would look like that after the update, only without the update bar. But they didn't!
This has happened with EVERY update unless the icon actually has changed, has anyone else noticed this?
Here are some links to screenshots I took:
1) Check out the bottom right application called HellKid, you can clearly see that the small ribbon that says 'online' is much clearer and as is the image in general
During Update:
After Update:
2) Check out the bottom right application again, it's the GAME application, in this one, the icon was actually different! Different sized text when it was updating but then back to the normal crappy icon afterwards
During Update:
After Update:
3) Now this is the best one and the one that is easiest to see that something weird's going on! Check out the LMB app in the top right hand corner, you can clearly see that as it's updating the icon is crystal clear, the mesh that the ball is on is so clear, as is the detail around the edge of the icon, however afterwards it's still the crappy blurry icon!?
During Update:
After Update:
Thought I'd show this because I found it very strange, why the icons are retina compatible when they're updating, but not when they're updated and wondered if 1. Anybody else had noticed or 2. If other people's iPhone's were keeping the hi-res icon and it's just my phone not working properly
ps. It's also annoying how on the App Store application that all the icons are still the low-res images even if they're supposed to be hi-res.
Thanks for reading!
