Using different images for different retina displays

I was wondering how would you serve up different quality images i.e @2x, @3x etc in swift and Xcode would you check the screen quality and change the image box or just create one image at the largest size and use this instead i'm a bit confused on this could anyone offer any insight

In Xcode, you can navigate to Images.xcassets. Once you are in there, click the plus icon to add a new Icon Set. There will be three boxes for orginal, @2x, and @3x sizes. In interface builder, reference the image by using the Icon Set name. Xcode will automatically choose the right resolution photo depending on what device is being used.
