Treehouse Moderator 37,862 PointsSo what design for, the 6+ so the images get squashed smaller vs. being stretched for bigger screens?

I'm not an iOS developer, but can you display a different image depending on which iphone it is? That would be best. Otherwise, you're sending an image much too large to and iphone 4 or 5, and I don't know how that would affect loading time?
