From a practical perspective, in iOS and OS X outlets should be defined as declared properties. Outlets should generally be weak, except for those from File’s Owner to top-level objects in a nib file (or, in iOS, a storyboard scene) which should be strong. Outlets that you create will therefore typically be weak by default, because:

Outlets that you create to, for example, subviews of a view controller’s view or a window controller’s window, are arbitrary references between objects that do not imply ownership.
The strong outlets are frequently specified by framework classes (for example, UIViewController’s view outlet, or NSWindowController’s window outlet).
```
@property (weak) IBOutlet MyView *viewContainerSubview;@property (strong) IBOutlet MyOtherClass *topLevelObject;
```

简单的说，如果IBOutlet对象是nib/sb scene的拥有者（File’s owner）所持有的对象，那么很显然拥有者必须“拥有”对象的指针，因此属性应设置为strong。而其他的IBOutlet对象的属性需要设置为weak，因为拥有者并不需要“拥有”他们的指针。举例来说，UIViewController的view属性是strong，因为controller要直接拥有view。而添加到view上的subviews，作为IBOutlet只需要设置为weak就可以了，因为他们不是controller直接拥有的。直接拥有subviews的是controller的view，ARC会帮助管理内存。
