The New Yorker Magazine Newsstand App Finally Optimized For iPhone 5
May 18, 2013
At long last, The New Yorker Magazine, the universal iOS app of the renowned weekly of the same name, has been optimized for iPhone 5.
It's a development that had been long-overdue.
The New Yorker Magazine for iPhone was released in August last year, almost two years after the launch of its original iPad version. The iPhone 5 was then launched in September, followed by the fifth-generation iPod touch the next month.
But it's only now that the reading-intensive app has been updated to fully support the 4-inch Retina display of the iPhone 5 and the fifth-generation iPod touch. Look, ma, no more black bars!
The app has also been updated with fixes for issues with background downloads for both its iPhone and iPad editions.
