The easiest way to get something similar is to create a view for each “top site” tile, and set the transform on each view’s layer to the appropriate rotation (around the Y axis) and perspective. You can find more information here:
How do I apply a perspective transform to a UIView?
This will not be exactly the same as Safari’s Top Sites window, because Safari actually curves each tile. There is no public API to make a view appear curved on iOS.
