how iPhone 4/5/6 uses common images "@2x"

Question

I am new in using ios so i came across with one issue.

when I am using images of @2x for iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 then after executing i checked image size which is different in iPhone 6 may be due to its dimension then how would it be resizing the image up to which extent because iPhone 6 specification says that it is using @2x images. Thanks for your help

iPhone 6 uses 326 PPI screen which is same as iPhone 5S and previous Phones whereas iPhone 6 plus uses 401 PPI screen so it needs @3x images , read more Here

iPhone 6 might have different resolution but has same density of per pixel inch (PPI)

Resolution concerns an absolute number of pixels.
Density (aka Pixels per inch - PPI) concerns a relative number of pixels per inch which is same in case of iPhone 6 and previous iPhones , but different in iPhone 6 plus.

Check more about this here in this thread

Hence iPhone 6 uses @2x image same as iPhones 4 , 5 and 5S.

@Bhumit iPhone 6 having resolution 750*1334 so image size appears little bit big compared to image size in iphone 5s simulator? but ppi value remains same – Zalak Patel Sep 16 '14 at 07:18
Yes as it has higher resolution it will be bigger. – Bhumit Mehta Sep 16 '14 at 07:21
