UITableView section header height for non-grouped table

Greetings! I know that UITableView sectionHeaderHeight is only used for grouped tables, but I'll ask anyway (in case there's some way to do this that isn't obvious) ...

Is there a way to change the section header height (and with it, the font/size) for a NON-grouped table?

Hoping "yes" or at least a "maybe" ... but fearing it might be a "no". Have at it, folks.

Yes.

Use this delegate method:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    return 44;
}

Of course, change as appropriate. There's of course the one for footer as well:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    return 44;
}
