To know, what kind of image You should use (for iPad 768x1024, for iPhone 320x480, etc..) You can detect device, and then set corresponding image.

You can distinguish between iPad/Retina/iPhone using this SO article:

Detect retina screen/iPhone 4 in iPhone SDK

You can detect iPhone 5 using example in this SO article:

How to detect iPhone 5 (widescreen devices)?

If you have only portrait supported, You can check using this simple method:

if([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 480)
{
    //iPhone, iPhone retina
}
else if([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 1024)
{
    //iPad, iPad retina
}
else //568 height
{
    //iPhone 5
}

And of course - as Valeriy Van mentioned, You need [email protected] image added to your bundle.

There is no connection between image resolution and size of UIImageView. Image will be rescaled or positioned inside view bounds depending on contentMode property.

What you need first - add [email protected] image of 640x1136 as Launch Image for Retina 4 inch. If springs and struts of your views are set right, everything will work as granted.
