Rotating the iPhone 4 SpringBoard ? Judging from the SDK it did not look

For several days we are trying the latest release of the SDK Apple released in conjunction with the Golden Master IOS version 4. During use, we immediately noticed a detail that probably will not please those who have planned or are planning to buy the new iPhone 4. Many users have asked if this new device will be able to support the rotation of the springboard in landscape mode just like it does on iPad. Well, the answer seems to be negative.

 Many of you, especially the more experienced, will know that within the package for developers, there are several useful applications including an iPhone or Sumulator. This tool makes it possible for developers to test their applications without necessarily having an iPhone-lift truck. Until the latest version of the new beta SDK, released before the WWDC 2010, included in the Hardware tab> Device two devices: an iPhone and iPad.
With the release of four new IOS 4 GM and after the official presentation of the iPhone, Apple decided to include in the simulator also the new device. Well, at first glance, we immediately noticed a small detail. In recent months there has been much talk of a possible new feature for our iPhone that should have been introduced with the new IOS 4: The rotation of the springboard in landscape mode.

This feature, however on this iPad, seems destined never to see the light on the current iPhone models and even the new iPhone 4. To confirm this, we present two screenshots taken directly from iPhone Simulator, which are shown in both the iPad is the new iPhone 4 rotated horizontally.

  As you can see, the same mortgage, the iPad allows automatic adjustment of SpringBoard to landscape mode, unlike the iPhone 4 which you can not get the same result.
So, in conclusion, we are quite confident that the new model iPhone, like its predecessors, will not have this feature.
