Harri, That doesn’t make sense. Simulator is just displaying the real resolution of the device. In retina case 2048x1536. Why would it display something 2.5 times bigger for no apparent reason.
I have an iPad 2 and my app was designed in a 1024x768 base. My tests on a real device were on this base. The app memory usage on this conditions on the iPad are about 50Mb. When we go to retina display, the problem is that the display cache multiplies by 4 because the resolution has doubled in both axis. This leads to an increase in memory. This is my guess. I also think that Qt is loading all the libs at once. I cannot explain such a big memory footprint for an empty app. I would like some insights from Qt dev people. I have been analysing, code portion by code portion and I have already found out interesting things that I will share later.
