Question: Do you want to see the status bar on iPhone 5, 5s and iTouch
5G
    
- Yes, show me the status bar! 
- No, I prefer to have the clean screen. 
- I don't care

Well, landscape mode works on all devices, even in iPeng Classic, you
just have to enable it in settings.

Regarding the landscape playlist shown above I'm not yet 100% sure.
Until yesterday I would have said it's for iPhone 6 Plus only but since
then I realized it's not entirely unrealistic.
The playlist is a bit smallish, but still wider than the pinned one on
iPad. Now... The iPad one makes up some of that lost space by having
taller cells which is not an option here because height is even more
limited, but still... It's 8 rows (one less than on 6 Plus and 1 1/2
less than in portrait mode on iPhone 4 but the same as iPeng Classic on
iPhone 4), that's not entirely useless.
The square cover obviously has the same size as in portrait mode and
while the buttons cut a bit into the available space for the album name,
title and artist are comparable to portrait mode, so probably OK.
And you can always hide the playlist if you think it's not worth it.

I'll ask my beta testers but my current take is that iPhone 6 is
probably going to get the playlist, too.

Still, it's one of those things where the 6 Plus excels. This is a
ridiculous beast of a phone, definitely too big for my idea of a phone
to always carry around. But for things like reading or music library
browsing that can make use of a bit of space it's great. And while I
always found the landscape mode on the smaller devices entirely useless
it really makes sense here.

And when it gets old it's probably going to be the replacement of my
Squeezebox touch as an in-wall-controller...
