you are do by many way

1) use autolayout for compatible for iphone 4s and iphone 5.

See http://www.raywenderlich.com/20881/beginning-auto-layout-part-1-of-2

2) get screensize and setFrame according to device 

    #define IS_HEIGHT_GTE_568 [[UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds].size.height >= 568.0f

if( IS_HEIGHT_GTE_568)
{
// code for iPhone 5
}else
{
// code for iPhone 4s
}

3) get screensize and load Nib according to device 

#define IS_HEIGHT_GTE_568 [[UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds].size.height >= 568.0f

if( IS_HEIGHT_GTE_568) 
{ // Nib for iPhone5

}else 
{ 
// Nib for iPhone 4s 
}

  • #define IS_HEIGHT_GTE_568 [[UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds].size.height >= 568.0f put this code in your .Pch file and when you need then check in your if condition that device is iPhone 4 or iPhone 5 – Sumit Mundra May 08 '13 at 09:32
  • and if you load differnt xib for iPhone4 and iPhone 5 then usehomePageVC = [[HomePageViewController alloc]initWithNibName:IS_HEIGHT_GTE_568 ? @"HomePageViewController_iPhon5":@"HomePageViewController_iPhone4" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]]; – Sumit Mundra May 08 '13 at 09:36
  • Once again thanks for that,Can't we use autolayout?is there any disadvantage by using auto layout? – SadikHasan May 08 '13 at 09:36
  • if you develop apps only ios6 then use autolayout bCoz autolayout is available in ios6 otherwise you use resizing and setframe or loadxib by code – Sumit Mundra May 08 '13 at 09:39

There are two way you can use 1-create two xib and load required according to screen size.

2-use autolayout feature.

additional to the differencing in the code with the UIScreen, you also can add the file from this hub and load the nibs for retina4 images and other bundles just with @2x~568h in name without editing your code for it :)
