4,124 PointsSetting Background Images for Various Screen Sizes
In the video for "setting background images for various screen sizes" Ben shows us how to programatically set the background image for the 4 inch iPhone.
Why don't we just change the ImageView in the storyboard to fit the 4 inch screen, and then change the image 'mode' to 'aspect fill'? It seems to achieve the exact same result minus all the code, am I missing something here?

Treehouse Guest TeacherThe image view does not resize itself at runtime. So if you size it for the 4" screen it will get cut off in a 3.5" screen. Ben is showing you the right way to do it.
