Change background image between iphone 4 and iphone 5 in storyboard?

Question

I have 2 background images built for the specific devices (320x480) and (640x960). I have done the iphone 5 storyboards.

Now, how can I change the background image to the (320x480) version when viewed on a iphone 4?

Note auto layout wouldn't work for me in this case since it's not an alignment issue but rather the image itself.

Name 320x480 image "background.png" Name 640x960 image "background@2x.png" Name 640x568 image "background-568@2x.png"

then in story boar set background image to "background"

you can also set all these up in an assets.xcassets file in the same image set to simplify.

Do you mean -568h@2x? It says here in the comment that its only supported by launch images? http://stackoverflow.com/a/12517698/440646 – resting Feb 11 '14 at 06:42
@resting I think you're right. 568h@2x only for default image. – Augie Feb 11 '14 at 14:47

See How to detect iPhone 5 (widescreen devices)?

Simply set the image in viewDidLoad after you've checked the device

I always include these macros inside my .pch file:

#define isiPad  ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 1024)?TRUE:FALSE
#define isiPhone4  ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 480)?TRUE:FALSE
#define isiPhone5  ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568)?TRUE:FALSE

So you can create a switch and set the specific UIImage you need for the screen. I also created a gist with some more useful marc
