You should not do it this way. If you make your step value small enough for smooth movement it will be too slow.

You want to use UIView animation. Take a look at the the method animateWithDuration:animations: (and it's variations)

Your code might look like this:

#define K_AMOUNT_TO_MOVE

-(void)moveImages
{
  [UIView animateWithDuration: 2.0
    animations: ^
    {
    for(int i=0;i<images.count;i++)
      {
        UIImageView *MyImage = images[i];
        MyImage.center = CGPointMake (MyImage.center.x, MyImage.center.y- K_AMOUNT_TO_MOVE);
      }
    }
  ];
}

There are variations on that basic method that take options that will auto-reverse the animation, make it repeat, change the timing to linear instead of the default ease-in, ease-out, etc. Take a look at the method animateWithDuration:delay:options:animations:completion: in the Xcode documentation.
