As sydill said, string literals are different, as they don't need to be allocated or released.

Releasing other non-allocated objects OTOH, also NSStrings that are not literals, will very likely cause an EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception.

Nothing, string literals are special when it comes to memory management. Check this question.
