Presented view controller covers status bar in iOS 7

Question

I have a presented view controller in iOS 7 that doesn't have a navigation bar, but the status bar is visible. I tried setting the edgesForExtendedLayout to UIRectEdgeNone, but that doesn't seem to do anything (unless I show a navigation bar, which I don't need).

Doesn't seem to be a topLayoutGuide in interface builder (view uses a nib, not a storyboard) and was having trouble with that anyway.

Could hide status bar like this:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

But I don't really want to hide it. Note there are some similar questions, but they discuss using a navigation bar. This one, I don't want the navigation bar.
