I'm about to finish up Case One on my iPad Mini, but I may already be inclined to agree. The game looks to have carried over from the 3DS splendidly, with none of the jankiness one would expect coming off the AA1-3 Trilogy iOS port.
Text scrolling, animation, and framerate is just as smooth as the original, made all the better thanks to the higher resolution. (Though sadly, there's still that hint of slowdown when the camera pans around the court room from the gallery perspective.) Playing the game with headphones on, the quality of the sound hasn't taken any hits either, so compression doesn't appear to be an issue. And here's something of a godsend: the music boasts a FAR higher volume output than the 3DS version ever did. On its default level, it's already a marked improvement, and they even have separate volume adjusters for both Music and Sound Effects so you can bump 'em up even higher. (My personal preference is Music at max level, Sound Effects one notch lower.)
And mercifully, they've also included the quick skip text feature as a customizable option so that you can jump to the next dialogue box instantly, as opposed to having to wait for the text scroll to finish.
The lack of 3D seems like a fair tradeoff for what we're getting here. If the technical side of things keep up, and if Capcom actually went the extra mile to clean up the typos, then this just might be the version to beat.

Well, if anything happens to my 3DS, I know what platform I'll be getting my replacement for.

Not true; you can transfer your games to a different 3DS if the original gets destroyed or stolen. You have to call customer service though (stolen requires a police report, apparently), and it's easier if you have a Club Nintendo account attached to your eShop account. At least, that's what I've heard.
But yeah, the iOS route is more convenient.

If they release future titles for the iOS with this amazing quality, I'm choosing my iPhone over the 3DS. It's just me being bugged out at Nintendo's choice of the 3DS being low res compared to other devices of its generation. :/

I'm in the files, and not all the character models are there.
What these files are, I'm looking them up to find out now XD
(So far I can only recognise of the models as Trucy's panties, so I'll try to see how I can open that file. If any one knows how to open .mrl files, I think that's where the models are, and the .tex files are textures.)

I can open the .tex files to some extent. I haven't tried the .mrl or .mod files (I think the .mod files are the models), but that doesn't seem really useful if we can't get the main model files.

Of course it's also possible that the actual file data is also compressed before being encrypted.

While is this good (in my opinion) for Capcom to get the game to a large audience and for a decent price, they should give the 3DS at least a $10 price cut. The 3DS is at a clear disadvantage here...

Oh, so it's basically like on-disc DLC in other games where the payment only 'unlocks' it? Mrgrgr...
Well? Are we going or what?

About how large are the files? Hosting them on C-R could prove slightly restrictive bandwidth-wise if they're large, so we may wind up linking to them on YouTube or elsewhere.

Actually no, some part of the DLC is stored server-side, because I've seen some iOS cracking threads saying that the tools that bypass client-side DLC don't work. However, I'd imagine most of the DLC data is already in the app, because downloading a massive amount of DLC data for every purchase would be impractical, which is probably why the music and cutscenes are already in the app.
Additionally, there seem to be alternate versions of several cutscenes, usually with only voice acting and sound effects but no music.

Well, he talked about them having music and sound, so I'm pretty sure he's referring to videos.
As for the full screen images, I already posted them on this thread: http://www.forums.court-records.net/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=30699

Yes, I'm referring to the video cutscenes.
Also, I found some text files in the iOS version that still refer to SpotPass and things like that, so it's obvious that at least some of the code (perhaps the character models, or the texture data, or the script/text files) were directly carried over from the 3DS version.

Lovely, aren't they?
Bad news is, as Jozerick said, most of the models are in .arc files, so they aren't accessible just yet.
