title: Difference between launch image and splash screen
body: <p>I was going through iOS Human Interface Guidelines.</p>
  
  <p>It was mentioned as </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p><strong>Display a launch image</strong> that closely resembles the first screen of the application. This practice decrease the perceived launch time of your application.</p></li>
  <li><p><strong>Avoid displaying an About Window or a splash screen</strong>. In general, try to avoid providing any type of startup experience that prevents people from using your application immediately.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What is the difference between a launch image and a splash screen?</p>
