Netflix has just updated its iOS app with iPhone 5 and iOS 6 support. That means full 16:9 widescreen on your new iPhone’s display, which was sorely needed: though dedicated video apps are the most obvious ones to benefit from the change in aspect ratio of the iPhone 5, Netflix has been slow-to-the-draw in adding support for the new screen resolution, especially compared to the likes of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
You can find the new version in the “Updates” tab of the App Store app, or by clicking here. It’s a way more pleasant experience.

I’m actually surprised Netflix got around to updating their app this quickly. It usually takes them months to update it.
