This is especially amusing to me because back in the day when iOS developers would shit on Android, they almost all said (verbatim) "fragmentation" as the reason why iOS was great and Android sucked. "On Android you have a bunch of different screen sizes to deal with so it's hard to make a nice app. On iOS it's all standardized and simple. That is the Apple Way and the whole ecosystem is consistent like that which makes it a joy to develop for and use."


In a way having to dev for fragmented is annoying but valuable, as once you've done it it should handle everything. I imagine so many iOS apps are like a glass animal; fragile beasts.
