You removed the view controller's view from it's superview and then added a subview to it. The view hierarchy is broken at the view controller's superview (likely your window). That is why you are getting a blank screen.

You'd likely want to keep a reference around to the original view and then swap it out to the new view by setting the view controller's view to the new view.

// origView is an instance variable/IBOutlet to your original view.
- (IBAction)switchToPhoneView:(id)sender {
  if (origView == nil)
    origView = self.view;
  self.view = phoneViewController.view;
}

- (IBAction)switchToOriginalView:(id)sender {
  self.view = origView;
}
