Hmm, I don't develop for the iPhone, so can't tell you if there's a magic API way of doing this, but many years ago I had to create TIFF images manually.

The TIFF format is a bit whacky if you're used to just using a framework's CreateThisStuffAsAnImage() methods, but you can get the spec here and create the file yourself:
