IIRC, Xcode binaries record the SDK they were compiled against.  When you compile against a new SDK, it assumes that you're going to do the work to make the code work properly with the new SDK and devices.

So, it's likely that your app is running scaled when built with 6.4, and full resolution when built with 7.x.
