No, there's no guarantee that it's autoreleased. All that's guaranteed is that you do not own it. This still means there'll be no leak and you shouldn't call release on it, but assuming it' autoreleased would be assuming a longer lifetime than is guaranteed.
If you read the documentation closely, you'll see that it would be perfectly valid to implement this method so the string goes away when the original (non-uppercase) string is released.
In the case of uppercaseString, it may actually *be* autoreleased under the hood, but that's an implementation detail. For example, - objectAtIndex: in NSArray* is documented the same way as uppercaseString, but if you release the array itsef, any object you obtained from the array goes away (unless you or someone else explicitly retain it).
So, it is NOT guaranteed to be autoreleased, it is just "not owned by you". Please be careful about spreading inaccuracies not supported by the documentation.
