Actually it does. You can refer this at http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/uiview_class/uiview/uiview.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIView/addSubview:

As a matter of course, the superView retains the subView on addSubview: , so it does release when removes the subView.
