I'm using iOS 8.1, Xcode 6.1 on both Device and Simulator.

NSLog(@"SCREEN (%i x %i) SCALE: %i", (int)[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, (int)[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height, (int)[UIScreen mainScreen].scale);

Result on Device: SCREEN (320 x 568) SCALE: 2

Result on Simulator: SCREEN (375 x 667) SCALE: 2

I have used Asset Catalog, Default image for iPhone 6 (750x1334px) is displayed correctly on Simulator, but again iPhone 5 one (640x1136px) is displayed on Device.

PS. iPhpne 6 Plus works perfectly on both Device and Simulator reporting SCREEN (414 x 736) SCALE: 3, which is correct.

My app should use the exact images and layouts for all devices by design. What am I doing wrong?

Same happens if create a new blank project. :( – Grigoriy Uskov
May be when you made setup for your new iPhone you chose ZOOM mode for device? – nerowolfe
@nerowolfe - right you are!!! I was sure this mode is only about home screen icon sizes. Thank you, please post as an answer to this question. – Grigoriy Uskov
And the most interesting is if you setup iPhone 6 Plus in ZOOM mode you will be reported iPhone 6 screen with scale 3 :) SCREEN (375 x 667) SCALE: 3 – Grigoriy Uskov

Note that there are two ways to ZOOM on the iPhone:
1) The one relevant to this issue is at: "Settings - Display & Brightness - View" and set to "Standard" to turn off the Zoom.
2) Another one at: "Settings - General - Accessibility - Zoom" is not relevant to this issue.
