Obj-C only uses ARC for a minority of the objects.
Really? Every Obj-C API I've seen uses Objective-C objects, which all use
RC.
iOS is a competent realtime platform, Apple are well known for their
commitment
to silky-smooth, jitter-free UI and general feel.
A UI is a good use case for ARC. A UI doesn't require high performance.
I've written video processing/players on iOS, they all use blocks and
reference counting, including to do date/time processing per frame. All
while using RC network buffers. And it works quite smoothly.
