A reference guide for iOS developers detailing exact pixel dimensions, display aspect ratios, and App Store Connect submission requirements for every iPhone generation.

App Store Connect categorizes iPhone hardware into display size tiers based on screen diagonal measurements and pixel resolutions. All dimensions are listed in portrait orientation (width × height in pixels). Swap the numbers for landscape orientation.
| Display Size | Pixel Dimensions | Aspect Ratio | Target Hardware Models | Submission Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.9-inch | 1320 × 2868 | 19.5:9 | iPhone 16 Pro Max, 16 Plus | Primary Required |
| 6.9-inch (Alt) | 1290 × 2796 | 19.5:9 | iPhone 15 Pro Max, 15 Plus, 14 Pro Max | Accepted |
| 6.5-inch | 1284 × 2778 | 19.5:9 | iPhone 13 Pro Max, 12 Pro Max | Optional |
| 6.3-inch | 1206 × 2622 | 19.5:9 | iPhone 16 Pro | Optional |
| 6.1-inch | 1179 × 2556 | 19.5:9 | iPhone 15, 14 Pro | Optional |
| 5.5-inch | 1242 × 2208 | 16:9 | iPhone 8 Plus, 7 Plus, 6s Plus | Legacy Tier |
The 6.9-inch display tier represents Apple's primary iPhone target resolution in App Store Connect. Uploading screenshots at 1320 × 2868 pixels (or 1290 × 2796 pixels) satisfies the baseline submission requirement for all modern notchless and Dynamic Island iPhone devices.
When you provide a set of 6.9-inch screenshots, App Store Connect uses downsampling algorithms to scale those images down automatically for 6.5-inch, 6.3-inch, and 6.1-inch iPhone screens.
Developers who want tight control over caption layout or typography rendering on compact devices can manually upload size-specific asset sets for secondary tiers:
The 5.5-inch display tier (1242 × 2208 pixels) covers legacy home-button iPhone hardware (such as iPhone 8 Plus). Because 5.5-inch devices use a 16:9 aspect ratio, 19.5:9 screenshots uploaded for the 6.9-inch slot will not scale down to 5.5-inch slots without letterboxing or cropping.
If your application supports older iOS versions and legacy hardware, uploading a separate 5.5-inch screenshot set ensures clean rendering on 16:9 displays.
Modern iPhones use a tall 19.5:9 display aspect ratio, whereas older home-button iPhones use a standard 16:9 ratio. When designing graphics with top headline captions or bottom hardware bezels, account for these aspect ratio differences to prevent text clipping during automatic downscaling.
App Store Connect employs an asset inheritance hierarchy to streamline submission:

MockupLite takes your raw mobile screenshots and exports correctly scaled, framed PNG packages for 6.9-inch, 6.5-inch, and 5.5-inch iPhone slots in seconds.
Open the studio →The primary required iPhone screenshot size is 6.9-inch at 1320 x 2868 pixels in portrait orientation (or 1290 x 2796 pixels).
No. Uploading the 6.9-inch screenshot set automatically scales down to cover 6.5-inch, 6.3-inch, and 6.1-inch displays.
5.5-inch iPhone screenshots require exact dimensions of 1242 x 2208 pixels in portrait (or 2208 x 1242 pixels in landscape).
Yes. You can upload landscape orientation screenshots by swapping the width and height pixel dimensions (e.g. 2868 x 1320 px for 6.9-inch).
App Store Connect accepts PNG and JPEG files in RGB color space without alpha transparency.
