Look for @3x for iPhone 6 Plus and @4x for whatever uses that

[ptarjan]

Can you look for the other extensions when the pixel density calls for it please?

Ideally you'd use the @2x if the @3x didn't exist.

I'm also interested in support for @3x.

I did not know that there are any @3x devices out there. When Apple started to ship their first @2x devices, they told us, that now pixels are smaller than the resolution of the retina in our eyes, hence its name. So as you say, there are devices out there which offer more that @2x?

It is my opinion that were this to be added, it should be hidden behind config flag and / or an optional attribute. I certainly won't be modifying my Lambda image resize function to generate 1x, 2x and 3x versions of the various image sizes I need in my app.

As a user, I would strongly disapprove of a website attempting to download a 3x image simply because I'm on a 6+.

Bandwidth is getting cheap, yes - but it is still limited and I personally do not want it wasted on pixels I almost certainly wouldn't notice.

Don't know about you @jrief but if there was a PR adding this, I would require:

• Off by default
• Able to be enabled globally via a config setting
• Able to be selectively enabled via an additional attribute e.g. ng-src-3x
• Unit tests proving the above
