title: Use of alloc init instead of new
body: <p>Learning Objective-C and reading sample code, I notice that objects are usually created using this method:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SomeObject *myObject = [[SomeObject alloc] init];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>instead of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SomeObject *myObject = [SomeObject new];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a reason for this, as I have read that they are equivalent?</p>
