5.5-inch iPhone 6 may run landscape apps with more productive iPad-like interface

While the rumoring 4.7-inch version of the upcoming iPhone 6 will function as a large version of the current iPhone interface, it looks like the 5.5-inch version of the upcoming iphone will offer landscape mode, with a two-column user interface similar to that of the ipad. Developer Steven Troughton-Smith tweaked the resolution of the iOS simulator to 736 x 414, going by the assumption that the new iPhone will feature a screen resolution of 2208 x 1242. In doing so, he was able to get a two-column view that offers much more productivity.

From the screenshots, it is evident that if Apple does bring landscape orientation to the iPhone, the implementation will be similar to that as what we're used to on the iPad. In portrait mode, the single column interface will remain unchanged, and by rotating the device to landscape mode, the iPhone will automatically switch to a two-column layout.

The question remains as to whether Apple will bring landscape mode to all iPhones, or just the 5.5-inch version.
