And as expected this has been pushed back at me: "Works as expected". Apple doesn't mind at all if the very same app with the very same code compiled against the very same SDK draws its text in completely different places under different systems. m.

There are pervasive changes in text drawing throughout iOS 6, and backward compatibility has never been a priority. m.

>> What about the above part of my original question? This is a serious issue, because it basically means that the text appears in a different place under iOS 5 vs. iOS 6. You can easily see this by making a simple CATextLayer in a project whose base SDK is iOS 6 but whose deployment target is iOS 5. Run in the Simulator using an iOS 6 destination and then using an iOS 5 destination and you will see that the text has moved significantly. So using CATextLayer in a backward-compatible project is going to be a massive headache. m.
