in my opinion, the easiest way to target all devices is start with the iPad project and just make sure all your artwork is @2x. That way it has the least scaling across all devices, and the slight scaling on the iPhone6+ is so small you really can't tell with the pixel density on the device.
I thought the old retina was @2x, legacy was @1x (well sorta) and now iPhone 6plus is @3x But this posts suggest otherwise or is to say the least confusing.
As @jonmyulcahy mention the difference between 2x and 3x is barely noticeable. You may just be fine @ 2x.
Worst case, do a test build and adhoc it out and have a lookie see.
I'd like to know myself.

I'm with you on that point.
So @jonmulcahy / @RP (if I can add to your thread, @LumpApps ) using 2x for all graphics for an app destined for iPhone6 and 6+ (as well as 5), won't get rejected by Apple?

Correct.

I have it @3x for iPhone6+ now, lets see what happens. (Needed to copy the images into the project file because GS doens't want big images... sigh)

Sure thing, thanks - though for the record, personally, when I finally get around to publishing iPhone apps (mine to date have always been for the iPad) they won't be "universal" as such - they're going to be specifically for iPhones only.

If it supports it, yup that should be fine. Building anything larger that would be all for not.
Its a question not a conclusion. Or better a confusion.

Erm...

Thanks @jonmulcahy , I also found this (just now) suggesting otherwise. and confusing me more:

Your link is your conclusion.
Yeah I already know of the site. errrm. See my post, I just edited it, apprently not fast enough. ;p
Xcode supports it, Not sure how GS handles it importing those images @ 3x.

Thanks, @Lovejoy
Keep in mind we are starting with an iPad project thought. Don't forget that part!

Thanks for the help all. Thought I was going crazy. I am but I'm not alone, thats good
Guru just reminded me that the 3x resolution independence support was in fact released in the change log for SR 12.10
