Best screen resolution for iOS games?

I'm wondering which resolution for portrait would look good on most iOS devices other than the iPads. I'm talking just iPhones specifically, should I go big and if so does it scale nicely on smaller screen devices?

When you wonder such things, you search for the most popular mobile resolution for a start.
Per example: https://deviceatlas.com/blog/most-popular-smartphone-screen-resolutions-2015

Other advice:

- Scale up because there's no graphic loss. There's always a loss when scaling down.
- Newer phones and tablets mostly have a 16:9 aspect ratio for their screens. I would optimise my game for that. So basically, choose a resolution that is 16:9 aspect ratio so your game scales fine on those devices.

If you're using vector graphics, use the native resolution because it looks best. If you're using pixel graphics, scale the view and view port to remain pixel perfect but still fit the whole screen.
