In UIKit, a UIView or UIWindow has a frame property that defines its position and size within its parent view's coordinate system. The content or subviews of a UIView are laid out and displayed within this frame. This concept is fundamental to how views are managed and displayed in UIKit.
For more advanced layout management, such as dynamically adjusting layouts based on content size or accessibility settings, you might consider using UIStackView. A stack view provides the logic needed to lay out subviews either vertically or horizontally, and it can automatically adjust to changes in content size, such as when text size changes to an accessibility size. This is discussed in the session Get started with Dynamic Type (08:01).
If you're interested in how these concepts translate to SwiftUI, the session Demystify SwiftUI containers (06:03) explains how subviews are managed within SwiftUI's declarative system, where views are defined as a recipe for producing resolved subviews.
