Why the size of iPad design templates are not 1024*768?

Dears,

I downloaded UI kits-Apple iOS from Apple Design Resources - Apple Developer

But why the size of iPad design templates are not 1024*768?

Dears,

Could you kindly replay the question to me？

It`s important and urgent to me. !

Thanks in advance!

None of the current iPads are 1024x768, and so your design will need to scale to fit their sizes. Still, it is strange that they chose 1112x834 instead of 1024x768, but at least it's a 4:3 ratio.

One thing worth noting though is that Adobe's iPad template is 1024x768, and the one that is 1112x834 actually comes from Apple.

I found 1112x834 is the UIKit Size (Points) of iPad Pro 10.5-inch.

XD has already provide the artboard of this device.

Maybe it`s Apple`s mistake, if they change the file name to "iPad Pro 10.5-inch" will be accurate...

Maybe Apple can complement the UI kits!

There are still many users using “iPad size": 1024*768.

Thanks again~!!!

At least that explains where the number comes from.

Hi Zhengk,

It looks like out of three sizes Apple has chosen iPad Pro 10.5in for the template. As a workaround, I would request you to choose the artboard from XD home screen or from artboard tool and use the elements from the UI kit for 1024*768.

Please update this discussion in case you need further assistance.

Thanks,

Hi Atul_Saini,

Thanks for your reply~!

But the size of the elements from the UI kits as same as the Design Templates...

I did not find the elements from the UI kit for 1024*768 after checking all the elements from the UI kit.

Could you kindly tell me where they are?

And only one iPad UI kit in Apple iOS UI kits from Apple Design Resources - Apple Developer

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the dealy Zhengk, bars in the UI kits are as per the designed size, please tryt to resize them in XD. You may also raise a request here: -Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs.
