The Objective-C Programming Language: Declared Properties
If you use synthesized properties, the method implementations generated by the compiler depend on the specification you supply. The declaration attributes that affect performance and threading are retain, assign, copy, and nonatomic. The first three of these affect only the implementation of the assignment part of the set method, as illustrated below (the implementation may not be exactly as shown):
// assign
property = newValue;
// retain
if (property != newValue) {
[property release];
property = [newValue retain];
}
// copy
if (property != newValue) {
[property release];
property = [newValue copy];
}

“Gartner predicts that by 2014, open-source platforms will continue to dominate more than 60 percent of the market for smartphones. Single-source platforms, such as Apple’s iOS and Research In Motion’s OS, will increase in unit terms, but their growth rate will be below market average and not enough to sustain share increase.”
