I want to support a variety of devices from iPhone 4S to iPhone 6+. Previously, when adding supporting for iPhone 5, we followed the following steps.

  1. Add the launch Default-568h@2x.png
  2. Use the same @2x images (640x960) which are resized automatically for iPhone 5.

Now, iPhone 6 and 6+ are introduced with varying sizes and it is written on most blogs that we will use @2x for iPhone 6 and @3x identifier for iPhone 6+. It is also written that:

  1. iPhone 6+ (@3x) images will have resolution of 1242x2208 (I am using portrait mode), and it is automatically downsized.
  2. iPhone 6 will use @2x images.However,I am not sure what the size of these images should be. Should they be 640x960 or 640x1136 or 750 x 1334. In case of using the first two sizes, won't the images be distorted?

I think what you are after is detailed in the HIG under "Icon and Image Sizes"

  • I am sorry but I have gone through this link. I understand the default image sizes. However, My question mainly is "What should be the size of 2x images when supporting iPhone 4S,5 & 6. Should the size of 2x images be 640x960 or 640x1136 or 750 x 1334. In case of using the first two sizes, won't the images be distorted? –  Oct 28 '14 at 19:09
  • There is another very good thread on this on SO, at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25755443/iphone-6-plus-resolution-confusion-xcode-or-apples-website-for-development which hopefully will help more than my previous answer. – Gismay Oct 28 '14 at 20:27
  • Can you kindly answer this simple question. I know that we need to use 2x for 640x960 (4S), 640x1136(5,5C/S) & 750x1334 (6). What should be the size of my @2x images. 1) 640x960 2) 640x1136 3) 750x1334 –  Oct 28 '14 at 20:37
  • So, the simple (!) answer is your option 3 - 750 x 1334. The HIG states that "If you need to create static launch images for these devices, use the following sizes: For iPhone 6: 750 x 1334 (@2x) for portrait 1334 x 750 (@2x) for landscape" – Gismay Oct 28 '14 at 21:37
  • Can you kindly re-read my statement. I am not talking about launch images. I am talking about background images of other screen. In case of launch images, we can provide all of the above sizes. –  Oct 29 '14 at 15:07
  • Hi, sorry, I'm going to have to admit defeat on this one. Hopefully someone else can help you out. – Gismay Oct 29 '14 at 17:36
  • Hi Gismay, It is not about victory or defeat. I just want to make sure that I am using the correct images. Thank you very much for your time. I really appreciate it. –  Oct 29 '14 at 19:55
  • This link is not the exact answer I am looking for. The +1 is for the efforts and taking out the time trying to help me –  Oct 30 '14 at 12:13
  • Did you end up finding the answer? – rodrigobartels Sep 24 '15 at 05:21
