Same question as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3100878/ipad-frame-programmatically-doesnt-match-with-ib but no-one answered!
I created a UITableCell layout in IB, copied done the measurements of the UILabel frame and used them to programmatically resize the frame.
But the Y coordinate is out by about 13 pixels - WHY?
Frame in IB x:176 y:16
Frame in code to match X:176.0f, y:3.0f
Check your autoresizing masks and Origin positions.
