title: How to get a finished iPhone 5 app to display AS IF in "compatibility mode" on iPad with retina display?
body: <p>This is my first iPhone app (iPhone 5), and it's basically ready to submit to Apple except...</p>
  
  <p>I'm stumped on how to get my app to display on the iPad like it would in compatibility mode if it had a 3.5 inch screen.  But it has a 4-inch screen, of course. It's an iPhone 5 app. And Apple has not yet provided a compatibility mode (that I am aware of) that will display the 4-inch screen properly in compatibility mode on the iPad.  Instead, compatibility mode distorts and cuts off the 4-inch layout and smushes it into a 3.5-inch compatibility mode box.</p>
  
  <p>I have read all of the stackoverflow Q&amp;A's that I could find, plus many other web pages, tried numerous approaches, but all solutions end up with my iPhone storyboard layout distorted on the iPad and/or nailed to the top left portion of the iPad screen, or both.</p>
  
  <p>I've been banging my head on this for days.</p>
  
  <p>I sure hope someone can help.</p>
  
  <p>You know how 3.5-inch iphone apps look on the ipad in compatibility mode?  That is EXACTLY how I want my iPhone 5, 4-inch screen to look on the iPad, but with the 4-inch dimensions.  I do not want the app to occupy nearly all of the iPad screen. Just a box that looks like the iphone 5 app, hanging right there centered in the iPad screen. I don't have a problem with figuring out how to connect things to my view controllers, fwiw.</p>
  
  <p>I don't know how to put this any more specifically.  If my question is unclear, perhaps someone could help me to restate it?  This is NOT a duplicate of other stackoverflow topics I have been able to find. But I'm willing to be corrected.</p>
  
  <p>Hellllp! :-) Thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed.  I'm hoping to avoid starting from scratch to create a usable iPad presentation for my iPhone 5 app.</p>
