> The smaller screen sizes doesn't seem to be something that anyone really tests for anymore.

I do. I write iOS apps.

I just recently stopped using an original SE as my low-end test (because of the OS support). I now use a Mini 12 as my low-end test.

Thank you! Even Apple seems to forget the SE, I frequently see UI elements in Apples own software overlap, so I think it's even rarere to see 3rd parties care.

It’s important to test whacky screen sizes; especially now. I’m not a fan of Liquid Glass’ profligate waste of screen space.

The new iPadOS lets you resize windows into weird shapes, like tall and narrow, or short and wide (or narrow). I think VisionOS is even more flexible.

Also, I want my apps to continue working, when you flip them into landscape. A lot of apps become worthless, in that state.

I understand the new foldable will likely have challenging dimensions.
