    For your #1 point our team has had great success using PlantUML for our diagrams. They can be easily output for slides or wiki pages, but it's all written in code so we can keep th…

    Swift also has decimal (so does objective-c) which handles this properly. See https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-users/Week-of-Mon-20... to see how swift's implementation of d…

    Developers can also do images in resolution independent ways for certain types of image assets used in the apps, like icons. You wouldn't be able to do these for photos, but it wou…

    This is the same as the jump from iOS 6 to iOS 7, except that was more UI code. It was difficult to support both and keep the correct look and feel between the apps without a lot o…

    While that could be true, this list also includes the names; which would not be possible from what you're describing.

    It could also be that apple wanted the other part of Burstly which did advertising, to help support their iAd platform.

    I agree this might be nice for certain apps, say the Youtube app, where the whole purpose of the app is to show video to the user. I write a bunch of apps right now that have the a…
