There's nothing special or unusual about it from the point of view of springs and struts, however. S&S are perfectly adequate for scalability of many interfaces.

Hmmm
... can you name a single consumer app that scaled before iOS6? Or a reference on the internet to a single popular non-esoteric iOS app that scaled before iOS6? Or a reference on the internet to the applicability of scaling to iOS apps before iOS6?
Whether or not S&S are perfectly adequate is beside the point. If it wasn't practical for
various reasons -- and it appears that was the case -- then it still rendered iOS before iOS6 essentially a non-scalable interface.

I think the state of affairs that has been in place since well before the start of 2013 is relevant to a discussion in a thread called "Musing on Apple 2013".

We agree on that. Even more relevant is the state of affairs for
the bulk of the history of that operating system. And the evidence seems to suggest any scalability before iOS6 was non-existent and/or impractical and rarely if ever used.
