iTunes Connect Screenshot for iPhone 6/6Plus without Status Bar?

Question

Other posts are talking about iPhone6 and 6 Plus screenshot size for iTunes Connect

iPhone 6 :

• 750 x 1334 pixels for hi-res portrait
• 1334 x 750 pixels for hi-res landscape

iPhone 6 Plus :

• 1242 x 2208 pixels for hi-res portrait
• 2208 x 1242 pixels for hi-res landscape.

However they have to be uploaded without the status bar, so these dimensions do not look correct.

iTunes Connect Developer Guide gives different suggestions for 4S, 5 in case of including or not including the status bar, but not for the iPhone 6 and 6Plus, for which only the full size are provided.

Answer 1

Just ran into the same problem: I removed the status bar on all my screenshots (as I used to do it for the older iPhone models) only to learn that this does not work anymore for iPhone 6.

I looked at the screenshots of Apple's own apps (eg Pages). They do leave the status bar in, but it doesn't show a carrier and times is set to 9:41. This can be done by connecting the iPhone to a Mac and using it as camera input through Quicktime on Yosemite (like for app-previews).

Answer 2

Screenshots for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus must be uploaded WITH status bar, eg:
App store screenshots sizes for all devices

The Apple Dev Guide hasn't been updated for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, you are right. Remember the iPhone 6 Plus screenshot dimensions differ slightly from the real resolution. See:

(downsampling marked red in the webpage, no need to download the guide to see it).

Answer 3

My understanding at this point is that you have to photoshop the status bar out. I looked at Uber's app, and they had the status bar in there, with the time stamp and wifi bar.

So I guess its all round confusion.
