Lowering Your Memory Usage

Why not have 1 of each, and just reuse them? >.<
Depends in your situation ofcourse

 

My guess is that you have a scrolling view with all those elements. You need to reuse the elements as they leave the screen. IE, if 10 fit on the screen at a time, have 11 of them. As the topmost one gets scrolled off the top of the screen, move it to be the bottom most one (the one about to scroll onto the screen,) and change its contents to make it look like a new label. This is how long scrolling table views like the built in music app are done. (The all songs list can easily have over 10K rows in it, so it recycles like I said and only actually has a dozen or so that just get reused hundreds of times when the user scrolls.)

 

Check Your Image Sizes

Images take the most memory. Make sure your images are not huge, as they only really need to be twice the final size to look nice. If you have fifty foot long images, your wasting memory. Also, are you using automatic reference counting? Most users are on ios 5, so your not really losing anything by taking advantage of this. If you are stubborn, and don't want to use arc, then make sure you are releasing EVERYTHING that you don't need.
