Where on earth did you get that number?

UI code in a well-structured application is a thin-shim on composed, testable backend code. It should be the least of the code, by far.

This is highly dependent on the app. All iOS projects I've worked on have been 50-80% UI code sitting on top of a pretty thin set of persistance and networking classes.
