This solution essentially draws the image as 'aspect fit' within the given rect.

CGSize itemSize = CGSizeMake(80, 80);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(itemSize, NO, UIScreen.mainScreen.scale);
UIImage *image = cell.imageView.image;

CGRect imageRect;
if(image.size.height > image.size.width) {
    CGFloat width = itemSize.height * image.size.width / image.size.height;
    imageRect = CGRectMake((itemSize.width - width) / 2, 0, width, itemSize.height);
} else {
    CGFloat height = itemSize.width * image.size.height / image.size.width;
    imageRect = CGRectMake(0, (itemSize.height - height) / 2, itemSize.width, height);
}

[cell.imageView.image drawInRect:imageRect];
cell.imageView.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
