So what design for, the 6+ so the images get squashed smaller vs. being stretched for bigger screens?

If you were to only do one image version, that's probably the best plan. However, aspect ratios are going to change as well, so be aware of that. Iphone 6 does not have the same aspect ratio as an iphone 5.

I'm not an iOS developer, but can you display a different image depending on which iphone it is? That would be best. Otherwise, you're sending an image much too large to and iphone 4 or 5, and I don't know how that would affect loading time?
