The code bellow works on iOS 5/6/7

@implementation PlaceholderTextField

- (void)drawPlaceholderInRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    // Placeholder text color, the same like default
    UIColor *placeholderColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.70 alpha:1];
    [placeholderColor setFill];

    // Get the size of placeholder text. We will use height to calculate frame Y position
    CGSize size = [self.placeholder sizeWithFont:self.font];

    // Vertically centered frame
    CGRect placeholderRect = CGRectMake(rect.origin.x, (rect.size.height - size.height)/2, rect.size.width, size.height);

    // Check if OS version is 7.0+ and draw placeholder a bit differently
    if (IS_IOS7) {

        NSMutableParagraphStyle *style = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
        style.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail;
        style.alignment = self.textAlignment;
        NSDictionary *attr = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:style,NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, self.font, NSFontAttributeName, placeholderColor, NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil];

        [self.placeholder drawInRect:placeholderRect withAttributes:attr];


    } else {
        [self.placeholder drawInRect:placeholderRect
                            withFont:self.font
                       lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail
                           alignment:self.textAlignment];
    }

}
