Would somebody please clarify this for me? The iPhone 4 has a resolution of 640 x 1136px so if I wanted a square icon, for example, to take up half of the screen, the PNG should still be 640 x 640px because it will be downsized by half? Or do I just create a 640 x 1136px canvas and however it appears there is how it will appear once uploaded on the app?

640 × 1136 px² is already the 1:1 resolution, meaning these are physical pixels of the screens.

So yes, you create a 640 × 1136 canvas, create your icon in the dimensions that you desire, and then crop it out.

Your final icon file should have the dimensions of 320 × 320 px².
