To expand on @cliclcly's answer: From the Overview of UILabel's documentation:

The default content mode of the UILabel class is UIViewContentModeRedraw. This mode causes the view to redraw its contents every time its bounding rectangle changes. You can change this mode by modifying the inherited contentMode property of the class.
