Background image size on iPhone

Hello I have made a background image (size: 1136 x 650). Then I have implemented it into my app but on iPhone 5 it is too small though in all the guides I read they said that 1136x650 would be the size for a background image on iPhone 5. Then I have used the same image but with size: 2272x1300 (@2x) and now it fits perfectly.

Does that mean that I have to use a background image with the size: 2208x1242(normal) and 6624x3726 (@3x) for an iPhone 6+?

The number of physical pixels in the screen and the number of points in the screen's coordinate system are different numbers. As you have discovered an iPhone 5 has four times as many physical pixels on the screen as logical pixels.

For iPhone 6, in order to fill the whole screen in landscape orientation, you would need a 1334 x 750 image. For the 6+, you would need a 2208 x 1242 image. A quick way to tell is to check the requirements for the launch image, which you can get to from here.
