"Launch Screen" (or more accurately "LaunchScreen" or "LaunchScreen.storyboard"), is the default name of the storyboard for a Launch Screen File; it is a very simple xib or storyboard file that appears before the rest of the app gets loaded up. The advantage to this is that a dev can use auto layout to reposition things subtly depending on the size of the screen (iPhone vs. iPad, iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6+, etc.).
