App Store screenshot size reference.

Why Apple has so many screenshot sizes

App Store Connect groups screenshots by device class, not by device model. Each class maps to the physical display of a family of devices, and Apple uses the largest provided size as a visual fallback for every smaller device that shares orientation and aspect ratio. The practical result: you do not need to upload one set per device Apple sells. You need one set per class your app supports, using the display size Apple defines for that class.

iPhone 6.9 inch — the current required size

From early 2024 onward Apple requires screenshots at 1320×2868 (portrait) or 2868×1320 (landscape). This size corresponds to the iPhone 15 Pro Max / 16 Pro Max display and replaces the 6.7-inch requirement. If you uploaded 6.7-inch (1290×2796) screenshots before the change, they still display, but new versions need the 6.9-inch set. Apple scales this set down to all smaller iPhone sizes automatically.

iPhone 6.5 inch — still accepted, no longer required

1242×2688 (X-class displays) and 1284×2778 (Pro Max, 12/13/14 generation) are still valid upload sizes. You do not need to provide them, but uploading them gives you pixel-level control on the specific devices that have those screens rather than letting Apple scale. For high-visual-polish marketing this can matter.

iPhone 5.5 inch — legacy

1242×2208 corresponds to the iPhone 8 Plus and earlier. Apple no longer requires it, but the slot is still available. For apps that still support iOS 16 running on Plus hardware it is worth the upload.

iPad Pro 13 inch and 12.9 inch

2064×2752 (13-inch, iPad Pro M4 era) is the current required size if your app supports iPad. 2048×2732 (12.9-inch, 2nd generation onward) is still accepted and historically was the required size before the M4 iPad Pro arrived. Upload both if you have the assets; if you only upload one, use the 13-inch.

Apple Watch, Apple TV, Mac, Vision Pro

Required only if your app runs on that platform. Apple Watch accepts multiple sizes depending on Series (Series 10: 416×520, Ultra: 410×502, etc.). Apple TV is 3840×2160. Mac accepts any size between 1280×800 and 2880×1800, 16:10 aspect. Vision Pro is 3840×2160.

Rules that apply to every screenshot

• PNG or JPEG, no alpha channel, sRGB or P3 color profile.
• Up to 10 per locale, per device class. Order matters — the first three are what most users see without scrolling.
• No status bar chrome for simulator-captured screenshots. Either use a clean status bar or crop it — Apple does not enforce but stylistically it matters.
• Device frames are allowed in marketing screenshots (many top-chart apps use them), but make sure the frame matches a plausible real device.
• Text and captions baked into the screenshot are allowed and, for most categories, recommended — the first screenshot is effectively a banner ad.

Portrait vs landscape

You pick orientation per device class, and every screenshot in a class must match that orientation. Mixing landscape and portrait in the same iPhone 6.9-inch set will fail validation. If your app is landscape-only (games often are), upload in landscape; App Store display rotates naturally on device.

Frequently asked questions

What screenshot sizes does Apple require for iOS apps in 2026?

6.9-inch iPhone (1320×2868) and, if your app supports iPad, 13-inch iPad Pro (2064×2752). Smaller iPhone and iPad sizes are accepted but not required — Apple uses the largest uploaded set as a fallback.

Does Apple still require 6.5-inch iPhone screenshots?

No. The 6.9-inch set is the only required iPhone size since early 2024.

What dimensions does Vision Pro need?

3840×2160 pixels, up to 10 per locale. Vision Pro does not fall back to iPad screenshots — dedicated Vision Pro assets are required if your app ships on visionOS.

Can I use the same screenshot file for iPhone and iPad?

No — each device class has its own dimensions and validation is strict.
