Question

Is there a way to combine static tableview cells (static content) with dynamic tableview cells (prototype content) using storyboard?

Answer 1

I suggest you treat your table as dynamic, but include the cells you always want at the top. In the Storyboard, place a UITableViewController and have it use a dynamic table. Add as many UITableViewCell prototypes to the table as you need. Say, one each for your static cells, and one to represent the variable cells.

In your UITableViewDataSource class:

#define NUMBER_OF_STATIC_CELLS  3

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return [self.dynamicModel count] + NUMBER_OF_STATIC_CELLS;
}

and, then

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    if (indexPath.row < NUMBER_OF_STATIC_CELLS) {
        // dequeue and configure my static cell for indexPath.row
        NSString *cellIdentifier = ... // id for one of my static cells
    } else {
        // normal dynamic logic here
        NSString *cellIdentifier = @"DynamicCellID"
        // dequeue and configure for [self.myDynamicModel objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]
    }
}
