iPhone 6 Plus:
However they have to be uploaded without the status bar, so these dimensions do not look correct.
iTunes Connect Developer Guide gives different suggestions for 4S, 5 in case of including or not including the status bar, but not for the iPhone 6 and 6Plus, for which only the full size are provided.
Third party Mac apps such as Status Cleaner can improve your iOS screenshots by replacing your actual status bar with one that shows full signal bars, 100 percent battery charge, and a specific clock time, but these apps are only effective for status bars with a solid background color.
It’s easy to take screenshots in iOS but, by default, you’ll see the actual status bar of your iPhone or iPad at the top of your screenshots, complete with poor cellular signal bars, a random clock, and potentially low battery life.
It’s true that “9:41 AM” is the popular time that Apple and many third party developers use to advertise their apps, but it may not be ideal for all screenshot scenarios.
Just ran into the same problem: I removed the status bar on all my screenshots (as I used to do it for the older iPhone models) only to learn that this does not work anymore for iPhone 6.
I looked at the screenshots of Apple's own apps (e. g. Pages). They do leave the status bar in, but it doesn't show a carrier and times is set to 9:41. This can be done by connecting the iPhone to a Mac and using it as camera input through Quicktime on Yosemite (like for app-previews).
Screenshots for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus must be uploaded WITH status bar, e.g.:

The Apple Dev Guide hasn't been updated for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, you are right.
Remember the iPhone 6 Plus screenshot dimensions differ slightly from the real resolution. See:

(downsampling marked red in the webpage, no need to download the guide to see it).
My understanding at this point is that you have to photoshop the status bar out. I looked at Uber's app, and they had the status bar in there, with the time stamp and wifi bar.
So I guess its all round confusion.
