As far as I'm aware it was only 3rd party support previously but now there's official iOS support.
Have you tried the new Cardboard app? It was only released a couple of weeks ago.

I've been playing with Cardboard on my 6 Plus using the Unity engine and it's a ton of fun!
There are also some neat demos out there--hard to wade through the bad ones, but most are free. There's a good one about flying through a brain, but I forget the name.
Google's own demos are so-so, ironically. The cave is the best.

I got a free one from Verizon a while ago. My kids and I have played around with it- there are some ok apps. Its nothing my extremely awesome, but it is fun, and at least it's different.
I have one for my 6s Plus. The 1080p display on the Plus helps with clarity, but there's still a lot of screen door effect. It's neat, and Cardboard is cheap enough that little is lost if you get bored with it. It's pretty rare that I use it these days. I'd be more into it if there were no screen door effect. It's the one and only benefit I can see to Samsung's 4k phone displays.
let's say you were viewing something like this regularly on your phone:
Viewing through cardboard viewer, the image is magnified so it appears like this:
