1x icons for iOS - Are they needed these days?

So, we are just debating in the office... are 1x icons needed these days?

We kind of assume Apple will scale the 2x icon to be 1x in size automagically. That's if someone is still using a 3GS iPhone or lower.

Thoughts?

Michael,

To be honest, I don't think I have ever created a 1x image for any of my projects. : )
