Question

I'm currently updating my app's images to have a nice display on iphone4 with retina display. Everything works well and I'm quite happy with it.

However, what concerns me is that increasing binary size... (starting from 2Mb, I reached 4) Did you find a way to have nice images and to keep a decent size for your binaries?

Tips or advices would be welcome!

Was it helpful?

Solution

2 MBs more don't matter at all on a 32 GB device. 4 MB is 1/250th of a GB. :) (okay, it'd allow the user to sync a half MP3 less.)

I always delete non-retina apps. They suck and are ugly. If you don't care about uglyness, I'd suggest you quit iPhone development and start Windows Phone development (A)

OTHER TIPS

It's sometimes worth running something like pngcrush on your image files. It should result in zero visible difference but often results in far smaller files.
