iPhone6 status bar showing zoomed in app but not on home screen


After some initial testing, our app on the iPhone6 we are seeing that the status bar (and maybe the whole app) is showing the zoomed size. When I say zoomed, I am referring to the desktop setting zoomed vs standard. The app was written using the older storyboard type, not the new one with Size classes.

Solution

  • This is normal if you have not added iPhone 6/6+ launch images. Your entire app, including the status bar is zoomed when run to fill the screen. This has nothing to do with the "Zoomed/Standard" setting.
