Large and Small devices

For the purposes of BT when it asks for different specifications for large and small devices, which do they consider small and which do they consider large? For example, is an iphone 6s large or small or are only the ipads large? Thanks.

The old way of thinking was 'phones' were small devices, 'tablets' were large devices. This is changing of course, and the biggest change is probably felt on Android rather than Apple... due to the rising resolution of screens, and the phone screens being 'about' the same size. In the Android code, the difference between a 'small' and 'large' device is detected in 'BT_device.java' and tests for a screen width of 600 dpi. 600 is pretty common on almost all devices now, large or small, so it's becoming a little ambiguous. With Apple, it's almost the same as it's always been; Phones are small, iPads are large. Was there something specific you were trying to do? Cheers! -- Smug

I'm finding that my small splash screens work ok on small iPhones, but don't show up correctly on the larger ones. The large screens work ok on the iPads.
