Screenshot layout archetype

Text bottom, device top

Adoption data from 1031 top-chart iOS apps analyzed in August 2026.

Definition

The inverted classic: the phone mockup hangs from the top edge and the headline sits underneath it. Across our corpus, 4% of analyzed screenshots use this layout.

How to use it

  • Works when the top of your UI is the interesting part (a header, a chart, a camera view), since the top of the device stays visible.
  • Used far less than text-top, so it can visually break up a set that otherwise repeats one layout.
  • Watch legibility: the bottom of the canvas is where App Store UI overlays can crowd small text in some placements.
