UITextField is bigger in Simulator

I'm having issues with my app design,

I have a Textfield on my view, and I positioned it and sized it (by dragging the element) to how I want it:

enter image description here

but when I view it in the simulator, it looks like this:

enter image description here

As you can see, it is bigger and unsightly. It goes right to the edge. How do I make sure that it will look the same across all iOS Devices and in the Simulator?

Bi of a noob here so hoping for a detailed answer.

Thanks.

P.s I'm using swift if there is any code requirements.

In viewDidLoad try setting width of your textfield manually depending on the width of your screen. Try this out

var newFrame = textField.frame
newFrame.size.width = self.view.frame.size.width - 50 //change 50 according to your needs
newFrame.origin.x = 25 //should be half of constant set above so that textfield is in centre
textField.frame = newFrame

Use auto layout. Auto layout is a way to add constraints to your UI allowing for you to fix problems like yours and allows for your to have a similar UI across multiple screen sizes with relative ease. http://www.raywenderlich.com/115440/auto-layout-tutorial-in-ios-9-part-1-getting-started-2
