I'm curios why you're only exporting @2x and @3x? These files would only support retina displays, correct? 5-6 @2x, and 6 Plus @3x? I guess we'd need 1x for the iPhone 4, or no?

Treehouse Guest TeacherThe iPhone 4 still uses the Retina Display, so assets for this will be @2x. The iPad mini is the only iOS 7 + device that uses 1x assets.
If you're designing for Mac, or the web, you will need 1x too.
