iPhone 6+ splash images larger than native resolution?

Apple's guidelines for iPhone 6+ splash are stating a resolution that is larger than the native (physical) resolution

Taken from iOS Human Interface Guidelines

For iPhone 6 Plus:2208 x 1242

The device's resolution is only 1920 x 1080, anyone knows why Apple asks for a resolution that's larger than what the device is capable to show?

Thanks

Simply because that's how the display works. The UI is composited at the higher resolution and then scaled to fit the physical screen. Presumably it was so they could create a new x3 resource size rather than have something weird like x2.67777.
