You need to use a UITextView for multi line input.

How would I make the border on the UITextView the same as the TextField's border?

I managed to make the UITextView have the same border as the text field because I also wanted to extend the text field as well but couldn't manage it.

I connected the TextView's I added to the storyboard to my code (etc. TestViewController.h) by control dragging to the h file. In the implementation file (.m), inside the viewDidLoad I added this.

[self.cloudTechText.layer setBorderColor:[[[UIColor grayColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.5] CGColor]];
[self.cloudTechText.layer setBorderWidth:0.5];
self.cloudTechText.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
self.cloudTechText.clipsToBounds = YES;

this essentially places the border around the textview just like it would in the textfield.
