Question

Do you think iPhone 5 app approvals are bottlenecked or sped up? Anyone get their AIR app through?

I have read some articles suggesting that app approvals were super fast in preparation for the iPhone 5 release. But I don't know if that was just before the iPhone 5 release. It's been out for a bit now. Are approvals bottlenecked to a screeching halt now?

I have also read opinions saying that the approvals will take longer because everyone is updating right now. But how many devs that just got their hands on an iPhone 5 a week ago really were able to build support so soon? Some headliner apps like Angry Birds don't even have an iPhone 5 compatible update yet.

Do you think iPhone 5 optimized app submissions are given precedence over 'letterboxed' ones?

Anyone get any AIR-based iPhone 5 apps through approval yet?

Any intel on the situation?

I am hoping my update can get through soon because of the iOS 6 breakage.

I heard one report of someone getting their iPhone 5 app update approved in five days, which is three days quicker than normal. My app that I submitted last Sunday is still showing as Waiting for Review.

I just had an app approved 2 days ago, and it was submitted on a monday a week before that, so seems about average. It was built with the new Default-568h@2x.png included which according to Colin ^^^ makes the app iPhone 5 compatible, but I am not able to test it as I am waiting on the long backorder list. If anyone has an iPhone 5 and wants to download it for me to test I will gladly provide you with a promo code.

I don't really want to upgrade my 4S yet, so I'm thinking of just getting a new iPod Touch (same screen resolution). Anybody have thoughts about this route? (vs. getting an iPhone 5)

PS. For development. I will seek out a friend with the iP5 to test, just to be sure, before launch...
