How the Netflix app looks on the iPhone 5:
Since the iPhone 5 features the sweet-spot 16:9 aspect ratio, then most movies and videos will take up the full screen, as opposed to being letter-boxed. This is one of the major benefits when it comes to upgrading from older hardware to the iPhone 5. If you’re a big movie watcher on the go, then hands-down, the iPhone 5 is for you.
It’s also nice to gain some extra screen for performing searches, looking through various seasons, etc., as demonstrated by the Netflix app upgrade. Have you updated yet? Do you think Netflix used the extra space wisely?
