I have developed an iPhone app, right now I only need a device for testing.
I have 300$, and two choices - second hand iPhone 4, or brand new iPad mini.
The better choice obviously is the iPad, but is it sufficient for testing iPhone apps on?
On the iPad, iPhone apps can run just fine in 2X mode, but are there any differences between the app performance on iPhone and iPad (except the chipset).
Should I test my app on actual iPhone, or the iPad will suffice?
My app is RSS reader, not some game, so I think everything will be fine with testing on iPad mini. If I buy the iPad I will find some friends iPhone 4/3gs running iOS 5.1 (because my app's deployment target is 5.1, and the iPad comes with 6.0), but of course I can't extensively test on this iPhone.
Thank you!
