Refer to answer by Liam. fullScreenImage will return a scaled image fitting your device's screen size. For getting the actual image size:

  ALAssetRepresentation *representation = [alAsset defaultRepresentation];
  ALAssetOrientation orientation = [representation orientation];
  UIImage *latestPhoto = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:[representation fullResolutionImage] scale:[representation scale] orientation:(UIImageOrientation)orientation];                    

Quoting Apple's ALAssetRepresentation Class Reference on fullResolutionImage:

To create a correctly-rotated UIImage object from the CGImage, you use imageWithCGImage:scale:orientation: or initWithCGImage:scale:orientation:, passing the values of orientation and scale.
