License stuff: The sole purpose of this file is to help you pitch, design and build amazing software. The file nor its elements are to be repurposed as your own. It can’t be broken apart and used to create similar tools.
We use this file ourselves almost everyday and constantly strive to keep it the best template out there. It’s a well organized, labeled and layered PSD of the latest version of iOS. Most people find it useful for mocking up apps. Others use it to concept ideas or create custom interface elements that work harmoniously with those native to iOS. Whatever your use, we hope you enjoy it.
In 2008 we released our first iOS PSD. Over the past four years they’ve been downloaded millions of times. We continue to do it, not only because we find useful, but because we think a lot of other designers do too. It’s become our little thank you to an industry that has given us so much.

The primary thing to keep in mind here is that designing for a device like an iPhone, especially one with a retina display, using only a computer monitor leads to a good deal of guess work due to the differences in pixel density. We hate unnecessary guess work. Sure, you can export images and look at them on the end device but you’re probably not going to do that as often as you’d need to—and it’s a waste of time given that tools like LiveView Screencaster and Skala Preview are available. These products let you view your Photoshop canvas in real time on your iOS device. It’s the best addition to our toolkit since Photoshop added layers and multiple undos.
