To get an exact square, you'll have to indicate that you want an exact size by passing options, like so:

    PHImageRequestOptions *options = [[PHImageRequestOptions alloc] init];

    // No, really, we want this exact size    
    options.resizeMode = PHImageRequestOptionsResizeModeExact

    [[PHImageManager defaultManager]
             requestImageForAsset:(PHAsset *)_asset
                       targetSize:CGSizeMake(160, 160)
                      contentMode:PHImageContentModeAspectFill
                          options:options
                    resultHandler:^(UIImage *result, NSDictionary *info) {

    // Happily, result is now a squared image
    imageView.image = result;
    }];
