setting some autolayout constraints would be the easiest thing to do.

If you decide not to use auto-layout, remember that the measurements in the storyboard editor are measured in points. This is 1x for older devices (4S, etc) and 2x for newer devices. So measured in points, you would set (20, 250, 20, 20) and that would automatically be translated into (40, 500, 40, 40) for 2x (retina display) devices.

But I do agree that auto-layout would be a better solution, particularly if your app supports auto-rotation for different views.
