How is this a stalemate? I was being arrogant and was going to try to make all my pawns queens but the game ended in a stalemate. What happened? (This is my first time posting here so I don’t know if this is exactly how I do the thing where you can see the game) [Site "Chess.com iPhone"]

Here is the game and final position:

 

If you look at the squares the Black king, you will notice the king can't move anywhere legally.  Since the king is not in check, this is stalemate.

Oh yeah, I had a slow moment lol. I was thinking it was a draw by repetition or something.
