Note the lack of stretching; it just increases the amount of space in between
the rows of icons.

I'm kind of sold on the idea that apple is sold on the idea that old apps
should work on new screen sizes either without any scaling, or with integer
scaling (eg. 2x, 3x, etc). A taller display that keeps the 640 width would let
them put old apps right in the new display, no scaling necessary. They could
either fill the extra pixels with black, the dock, or widgets of some sort.
Ideally all three with the user able to customize.

Anyone know the height in pixels of the iphone dock?

I don't think legacy apps will auto-scale. I think they'll take up the same
number of pixels, but the extra screen real estate will have a widget bar,
showing things like the weather or stock prices.

"the extra screen real estate will have a widget bar, showing things like the
weather or stock price"

I highly doubt it. That would be very un-Apple. I think there are a lot of
legacy apps that will scale automatically to utilize the extra height, or
there will just be a little black bar above/below the legacy app, so the app
takes up the same amount of vertical pixels that it used to.

Only reason I can see for this vertical stretch is to add more battery to
power a 4G device. Yes, it's more pixels, and a lot people want more pixels,
but aspect ratio was a deep design choice made many moons ago by Jobs.

In the background, I see engineering getting a bit more clout under the
industrial engineer CEO. And I wonder if culturally the institution is asking
itself if perhaps nature truly cannot be pitched, bullied, or cajoled into
what cannot be done. Cancer will do that to a family.

 I'm kind of sold on the estimate that apple is sold on the idea that erstwhile apps 
 should work on new blind sizes either without any scaling, or with integer 
 scaling (eg. 2x, 3x, etc). A taller display that keep the 640 width would let 
 them invest previous apps right in the new display, no scaling necessary. They could 
 either fill the extra pixels with bootleg, the dock, or widgets of some sort.

 there will just be a little black bar above / below the legacy app, so the app
