title: Purpose of Synthesize
body: <p>I am using an iOS5 book to learn iOS programming.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@synthesize coolWord;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>^synthesize is used for all properties in .m files</p>
  
  <p>I heard that in iOS6 there is no need for synthesize, since it is automatically done for you. Is this true?</p>
  
  <p>Does synthesize play any role for iOS6?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the clarification. :)</p>
