Image Sizes for Supporting iPhone 4S,5,5C/S,6 and 6+

Question

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?

Answer 1

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