You mean 37 pixels?

(640-(4*114))/5 = 36.8 pixels.

I wonder why they didn't choose this instead:

38+36+36+36+38

That would be most evenly spaced, symmetrical, and compatible with non-retina displays.



App titles. You can have less margin on the edge since you don't have to considers the app title length from the other side.


Ah, that makes perfect sense.

I guess, this would be pointless:

36+38+36+38+36 (18+19+18+19+18)

since the 2nd and 3rd icon wouldn't get the benefit of the extra spacing.

So the reasonable option would be: 34+38+40+38+34 (17+19+20+19+17)
