What is the default height of UIBarButtonItem because it can't be 20?

Question

I search "for default height uibarbuttonitem" in google and found nothing.

Where in the documentation it is mentioned?

This is for portrait.

Some says the size is 20. I tried 20 and there is no way the size is 20. It should be much higher.

The purpose of this question is so I can create a REGULAR button that emulates a UIBarButtonItem.

Note: most people say it's 20.

I set the height as 20 and it's clearly seen that the regular button is much smaller than UIBarButtonItem.

enter image description here

Should I include a screenshot?

As you see, the bottom campaign is 20 points height. And that's much shorter than the upper UIBarButton. So the upper UIBarButton can't be 20 points. How much?

Why does it matter? Can't you just use something like `button.frame.size.height`? — Garrett, Jun 18 '13 at 10:08
