The center property of a view is relative to its superview , which is probably the UIWindow in your case. Since rotation is handled by the view controller and the window actually doesn't rotate, the center of your view stays the same.

What you probably want instead is the center of your view's bounds:

CGRect bounds = self.view.bounds;
CGPoint centerOfView = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(bounds), CGRectGetMidY(bounds));
