Remember that you shouldn't just move things down in IB for two reasons:

1. Not compatible with iOS 6
2. Won't extend the top bar background effect under the status bar

So, if you want to iOS6 & iOS7 compatibility, you could add a conditional for objects that require customization in ViewDidLoad. Caveat being this is a last case scenario - always try to remedy it with autolayout / IB first:

#import 

#ifdef __IPHONE_7_0

        CGRect barFrame = topBar.frame;
        barFrame.origin = CGPointMake(0, [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame.size.height);
        [topBar setFrame:barFrame];

        // move other stuff around too

    #endif

And set your bar delegate much like Luniz above,override positionForBar to .

topBar.delegate = self;

- (UIBarPosition)positionForBar:(id )bar {

    return UIBarPositionTopAttached;
}
