Do you guys just ignore color fidelity on the devices in this process? I found the earlier iPhones and iPod Touches had pretty different color profiles to the iPhone 4 (and iPad).

I guess layout is, strictly speaking, more important to UX than pitch-perfect color. Still, it's one of the things that bugged me when working on my (aborted) iOS project.



We better fire our designer :) He did not know about this. He does have one of those colour matching doohickeys to calibrate his monitor. In general, I think as long as it is not a CMYK print ad, a little deterioration in colour is ok.


I am surprised he didn't. The contrast of the displays is noticeably worse on older models. And that pretends that older models are not well... old.

I was just hoping you had some sweet solution because I think you could make a business out of layout, resolution, and color testing for mobile all on its own.
