Last week I went from an iPhone 7+ to iPhone X. Everyone familiar with these models know that the iPhone X's real estate might be slightly larger than a 7+, the screen itself can make things look smaller, partly due to always visible bottom bar, even in landscape mode.

So I've decided to make a little test during my McLaren Generations journey ;-)

Here are 2 screenshots, first one from the 7+ ( 2208x1242):



2nd one from the X (2436x1125):



Now.... here's the interesting part, besides the obvious better quality on the iphone X (7+ looks zoomed in or something, on the  X the image is much sharper), in Photoshop I superposed both images at 100% and..... the cars are actually the exact same. size! I don't know if this is something everyone knew already but it seems pretty cool on FM's part. Some menus and various UI elements are slightly smaller on the iPhone X (top menubar to name one) but others are exactly the same size on both phones (damage/servicing info for example). This is not just some reframing that's been done here, as they apparently made sure the car would would ave exactly the same dimension on both models:

My point of reference was the MacLaren licence plate, as the cars themselves don't have the exact same angle.

At first when I start to play on the iPhone X, I found the experience a little disappointing because the screen seemed noticeably smaller than before, but after this little comparison, I find it pretty cool that FM made sure the gaming experience would not suffer when they made RR3 fully compatible with the iPhone X. Of course all of the above could apply to "the other platform" as well ;-), but I can't comment on that.

Anyhoo...maybe I'm late to the party and all this have been known for quite a while, but I found it noteworthy... :-)
