  How does the introduction of iPad mini effect the iOS development?

  I don't think iOS development will get affected in a larger way with the introduction of iPad mini. iPad mini is just another device or varient of the original iPad with a smaller form factor. I believe most of the apps meant for the original iPad run absolutely fine on the smaller iPad. Are you looking at any specific issues or concerns? If yes, please post them so that we can have more points to discuss.

  hi, Thanks for replying, but yes, actually the most important question in my mind is that, how do I develop an app that runs on all( iPhone, iPad and iPad mini) these devices and still the build size remains small. Do I need to make different xibs for all these or adjust my frame by checking for the device at runtime? or there are any other better possible solutions. Also this may get a bit complicated, when both the orientations are supported.

  See, the thing with iPAD mini is that, people are supposed to use it with one hand, but iPad can't be used with one hand, so I believe gestures such as pinch in/out must be avoided in mini Pad. So my worry is that, I can't see a same app for all the three devices? There has to be different experience with all these different devices.

  That depends on your mind set only
  
  I am not a mobile geek but I think the aspect ratio of the iPads are almost the same and If it is so then the apps can be cross platform
  
  If the aspect ratio varies then the apps can not be used in other ipads But this needs citation it is purely my theory
