Storyboard view resizing trouble

Full disclaimer- I'm pretty new to iOS. I created a tableview with custom cells using the storyboard with a navigation controller as the initial entry point, and my tableview as the navigation controller's root view. When I run the app in the simulator, it seems as though everything is oversized/zoomed in, though my storyboard looks like this: enter image description here

I've tried with iPad and iPhone and in both devices my story board doesn't pop up properly. I instantiate my root view controller thus: 

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)applicationdidFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
//get a pointer to my main storyboard
UIStoryboard *mainStoryBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];

//instantiate my nav controller + item controller through the storyboard
UINavigationController *nav = [mainStoryBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"navStoryBoard"];
ItemsViewController *ivs = [mainStoryBoard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"tableStoryBoard"];

UIWindow *window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.window = window;

self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.window.rootViewController = nav;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
return YES;

}

Why won't my tableView appear in the correct size when I run my app? Am I instantiating my views incorrectly?

From the screenshot it looks like you are using Size classes (which is usually enabled by default). And hence the zoomed or scaled up behaviour.

If you are developing for a particular form factor, you may disable the "Use Size Class" property of the View Controller. More details here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-IB_adaptive_sizes/chapters/EnablingAdaptiveSizeDesign.html

However, if you want your UI to be scalable on different form factors - you should keep this checked and use Autolayout constrains for your Table View. More details here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-IB_auto_layout/chapters/UnderstandingAutolayout.html
