This is what I said and this what I meant (exact quote):
"Apple's iOS can't scale to different screen sizes the way Android can."
Meaning Android apps can
easily scale to fit different resolutions and sizes. And iOS apps can't. What about that don't you understand?
I did amend it later to account for the fact that iOS6 finally gave developers a practical way to scale apps. But up until iOS6, the situation was as I described.

What about:
The "every single time", "have to" and "exactly scaled" parts of that seem to me to be an assertion that iOS cannot scale interfaces.

In practice, the situation I described in that sentence was exactly what was happening. Read my exact words. Not what you would like to read
into them.

What was clunky about the attempt?
You can disbelieve me if you like, but I can assure you that springs and struts were widely used (and actually still are for some interfaces, despite the presence of auto layout).

I'm assuming it was some clunky private app because you won't even name it. You won't name a single widely used app prior to iOS6 that was scalable. I don't know why you won't support your claim.
