I'm designing my app (targeting only iOS/iPhone devices).
Currently, there couple components, which I'm designing to fit into iPhone 5 screen(smallest screen). On largers screens(iPhone 6, 6+), I'm centering the components and just give it more margin from the sides.
Note: In all of the images, the "red" area is at the same size(width and height), only the screen size changes
Should I or should I not increase the size proportionally? Is there are a known guidelines? Should I keep the font size and only increase the images?

You'll want to choose your font and image sizes to be comfortably usable on the smallest screen, which might result in short lines and little space for images. But that's a function of physics, for which you're not responsible (you are responsible for user comfort, of course, within reason).
Once I had those sizes selected, I wouldn't increase them with an increase in screen size, I'd allow more information to appear. It's not hard to see why: imagine translating an increase in size to a desktop screen. The same principle operates: bigger isn't necessarily better, if you've sized it correctly in the first place.
