Answer 1

You can try to turn off your 3G on second image, you will notice that statusBar didn't update.

It seems like a new api in iOS7

[[UIScreen mainScreen] snapshotViewAfterScreenUpdates:NO];

This may be the same question you ask, and there are a demo to show what you want.

Moving status bar in iOS 7

Answer 2

You may be able to do this by chaining the frame of the keyWindow (you can get this with [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] (UIWindow is a subclass of UIView). This should move everything right, and you may need to make another UIWindow to bring other stuff on from the left.

Answer 3

You're not going to be able to move the status bar. The best you can do is hide it for that view controller:

- (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    if (animated)
    {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
    }
    else
    {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
    }
}

- (void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];

    if (animated)
    {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
    }
    else
    {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
    }
}

Try playing around with the different values of UIStatusBarAnimation to see what looks best. There are three values: UIStatusBarAnimationNone, UIStatusBarAnimationFade, and UIStatusBarAnimationSlide`.

Answer 4

This's not an answer but a reply to James's answer because the formatting breaks on comment.

The fact is that setting the frame of the keyWindow will not be able to move the status bar. By setting a break point and printing out the keyWindow recursive description, we'll notice there's no status bar info inside.

(lldb) po [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] recursiveDescription]
<UIWindow: 0x8c5bf80; frame = (0 0; 320 480); gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x8c5c500>; layer = <UIWindowLayer: 0x8c5c0a0>>
   | <UIView: 0x8b49700; frame = (0 0; 320 480); autoresize = W+H; layer = <CALayer: 0x8b496b0>>
