A. You say that there are some notice from Apple about the larger screen of the iPhone6: This is impossible because Apple doesn't release any information until the date of Keynotes and WWDC.
B. You can or not use Storyboard, and you can or not use AutoLayout: the 2 things are separate because you can also use AutoLayout in nib
or programmatically
.
C. What developers don't know, is that Storyboard
are just a market move. I spoken directly with a my friend engineer in Apple about this and the information is real. The reason is also obvious. Is not the topic to speak about this but you can search on google and you will find a lot of information about the advantages to don't use storyboard.
Yes, storyboard are easy, but are not developer friendly if you think to work in a serious project with a big team. In a team you can use GIT
, you can use shared repositories
, you can export a part of code with the interface
...in all this thing, Storyboard are BAD!
So i encourage developers to DON'T USE storyboard
and use at max NIB file, or write the UI directly by code.
