Just to add to this, you'll probably want to override both editingRectForBounds and textRectForBounds so that the text is correctly displayed when editing and not editing (see this post). In Swift, this might be:

class MyUITextField: UITextField {

    override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds, 18, 0)
    }

    override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds, 18, 0)
    }
}

You can link the event editingChanged of the UITextView to the following method:

- (IBAction)textFieldChanged:(id)sender{
    if([sender.text length]>6){ 
        sender.text = [sender.text substringToIndex: 6];
    }
}

You may need to subclass the UITextField and override editingRectForBounds: method. Try something like this..Of course adjust values accordingly.

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
      return CGRectInset( bounds , 10 , 10 );
}

Accept this answer if it's the solution to your problem.
