UILabel have a weird grey top line/border in iOS7, how can I remove it?

Got the same issue

Solved by assigning border color and width to UILabel

nameLabel.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor whiteColor]CGColor]; nameLabel.layer.borderWidth = 2.0f;

I had the same problem and solved it by rounding up the height:

newFrame.size.height = ceilf(expectedLabelSize.height);
