iOS Textview looks different on iPhone 5

[RagingGoat]

I have a few text views in my app. They all look fine on 3.5" devices and are fine for the most part on the iPhone 5 but the text doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the screen on the 4" screen like it does on the 3.5". I've gone into IB and resized the text views on both the 3.5 and 4" screens. Does anyone have any suggestions?

How? Are you using struts-and-springs or Auto Layout?

Auto

Auto

Um, we'll need more details. Explain your Auto Layout constraints. Include screen shots, if necessary.

Here are screenshots of an example in the simulator for both 3.5" and 4" screens, screenshots of it running on an iPhone 4S and an iPhone 5, and a screenshot of Xcode.

I'd like to see all the auto-layout constraints for the textView, but I can see from that last screenshot that you have a constraint that makes the height 298. How do you expect it to get any taller on the iPhone 5?

 

[RagingGoat]

I'm not really sure. It gets taller in the simulator but not on an actual device.

It gets taller in the simulator...

Well, that confuses me.
