I still don't understand the "cheat". Any well-designed app that wants to take advantage of larger screen sizes on the new iPhones to display more content will use autolayout and the new size classes (compact and regular). There is no cheating involved.

For transition purposes, apps that haven't been updated yet will simply be scaled up (everything on screen will be slightly bigger). This is similar to when the iPhone 5 introduced a lengthened screen and apps were letterboxed until they submitted an update confirming that they were compatible with the larger screen.
