Adapting your app to any screen size
iPhone apps are about to get resized, and it's your job to be ready. At WWDC26, the message from Apple couldn't have been clearer: Stop designing for fixed devices and orientations, and prepare for your app to run on screens of varying sizes and aspect ratios. This talk explores what was said directly in the sessions about app adaptability, what iOS 27 itself hints at, how this is handled on other platforms, and concrete ways to modernise your app with SwiftUI code examples and suggestions for adapting to wider displays. By the end, you'll have a feel for where things might be heading, along with a practical starting point for adapting your own apps today.
