Hmm I have a few comments:
It look like you're seeing the superposition of two problems that look
like one:
1) The status bar is covering up the very top of your view in the sim
2) The bottom button is 20px further from the bottom in the sim
The interface builder likes to make views default to a height of 460,
not 480. I always change mine to 480 before I start using them. From
your pictures, it looks like this is the culprit - that, and the
status bar covering up the top. In order to change it, you must
disable the 'simulate status bar' option in the view's inspector.
I believe that view is designed to be shown in a view controller who
takes the status bar into account already. I also believe that you
simply added the view as a subview of the window, which is what caused
the status bar to cover up the top. (also, the interface builder shows
you what the view would look like in a view controller that takes the
status bar into account)
From this, you have a few options:
1) Disable the status bar in your application, set the view's
"Simulated Interface Elements" to not show the status bar, then change
the hight of the view to 480. To disable the status bar in your
application, go to its info.plist, add a new row, scroll to the
bottom, select "Status Bar is Initially Hidden" and set it to TRUE.
2) Use a view controller to show your view. I didn't fully understand
just what the controllers did until after a very long time of
tinkering, but they're a godsend... or, an apple-send in this case.
They'll help making stuff like that line up, though only after you
understand them.
or 3) Use both the above options (this is my recommendation)

When I run my app in the iPhone simulator the view seems to be
shifted up on the screen. If that doesn't make sense I've uploaded
some images. Take a look and see if you've run into this before.
