What about earlier-gen 320x240 iPhones (3GS; still in production!) and iPod touches? Does anyone develop with these screen sizes in mind?

Reminds me of the "Android is fragmented" cliche.

The only thing you have to provide is low-resolution versions of your graphics, assuming you don't need the newer hardware for some reason. The layout's still exactly the same.

iOS has two screen sizes, with a third rumored. Apps on that second size are usually designed differently anyway, to take advantage of the larger screen on the iPad.

Such fragmentation! And this is over how many years?

Um what? 3GS is 480x320. There's retina (2x) or non retina, iPhone or iPad

Android fragmentation is a cliche because it's true.

And Android is fragmented not because of hardware but because of developer APIs/operating system versions.
