How do you show the image - via background color or in UIImageView? — Alexey Kozhevnikov, Nov 27 '13 at 15:33
maybe try using an UIImageView as suggested here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2039740/center-no-repeat-view-backgroundcolor-iphone — MikeIsrael, Nov 27 '13 at 15:37
or could be the same issue as here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3401252/uiimageview-with-stretchableimagewithleftcapwidth-doesnt-stretch-image — MikeIsrael, Nov 27 '13 at 15:47

Try explicitly detecting screen size and using a specific resource for a 4-inch screen.

if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568) {
    // Present an image formatted for iPhone 5
}
else {
    // Present an image formatted for a 3.5" iPhone
}

Per the top answer here, iOS doesn't appear to respect resources with -568h@2x attached to them other than the actual launch image.

Edit:
It appears from the repeated image at the bottom that you might be doing [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:]. With the method above, use [UIImage imageNamed:].

Thank you all, Thanks a lot.

Finally I found a trick,

First you should hide the Status Bar during launch. By just doing this Xcode -> project Targets -> summary Tab -> Status Bar -> check the visibility.

Then, set

[imgsplash setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Default"]];

imgsplash.frame = CGRectMake([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].origin.x,
                             [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].origin.y,
                             [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width,
                             [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height);

imgsplash.autoresizingMask =  UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin |  
                              UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin | 
                              UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin |
                              UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin;

by giving [UIImage imageNamed:@"Default"] let the imageNamed can choose right image.

Thanks.

You can just do `imgSplash.frame = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds;`, it's the same. — Aaron Brager, Nov 28 '13 at 07:33
Also, I'm pretty sure the `autoresizingMask` does nothing since the screen's bounds never change. — Aaron Brager, Nov 28 '13 at 07:34
