Google on Monday issued an update to its popular Gmail client for iOS, bringing compatibility for the Retina HD displays found in Apple's latest iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus handsets.
A minor update, Gmail for iOS version 3.1415926 adds native screen resolution support for Apple's 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, meaning users no longer need to rely on iOS for scaling up graphics and text.
Prior to today's update, Google's mobile email client had to be scaled for Apple's larger iPhone models, which which now carry Retina HD displays in resolutions of 1,334-by-750 pixels for the 4.7-inch version and 1,920-by-1,080 pixels for the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. The resulting graphics reproduction was slightly fuzzy, especially on the 6 Plus' 401ppi panel.
According to the release notes, no other changes or enhancements are included in the latest Gmail for iOS build.
Gmail for iOS is a free 5.3MB download from the iOS App Stroe.
