What determines the physical dimensions of your image (i.e. Inches) is the resolution (PPI). If you set your Photoshop document to the same pixel dimension and PPI as an actual iPhone screen (which Google reports is 326 PPI) then it will report the same physical dimensions.

But, you don't need to. The only time you need to worry about physical dimensions is when you print your document. Resolution (as in PPI) is only meta data, it doesn't actually affect your image. If you are designing for screens then you can forget about the resolution. 72 PPI is the de-facto standard so you can use that, but it doesn't really make a difference.

Unless you actually do want to print your designs at actual size, then yes—set your PPI to the same as an iPhone 6.
