If I make an app at the 320X480 How bad is it going to look on the iPhone 4?
If I make an app at the 960X640 at what dpi should it be?
Is the only time you should check the Resolution Independence check box is if you make you app at the 960X640 res.?

    In a nutshell, if Joe Game Designer makes his app for 320x480, it will look the same on both iPhone 4 and all previous devices. The catch is that many apps have updated their graphics to look *BETTER* on the iPhone 4 than on other devices, and Joe's app will not look as good as theirs on the Retina Display.

    The only time you should ever check Resolution Independence support is if your source assets were imported with high enough fidelity to run on a 960x640 display. If they weren't, then they will look subpar on the iPhone 4, and terrible on the iPhone 3GS and below.
