Answer 1

Another important note is that presentModalViewController will be deprecated in the future, as mentioned in the UIViewController.h of the UIKit framework (Xcode version 4.3.1):

// Display another view controller as a modal child. Uses a vertical sheet transition if animated.This method has been replaced by presentViewController:animated:completion:
// It will be DEPRECATED, plan accordingly.
- (void)presentModalViewController:(UIViewController *)modalViewController animated:(BOOL)animated; 

// Dismiss the current modal child. Uses a vertical sheet transition if animated. This method has been replaced by dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion:
// It will be DEPRECATED, plan accordingly.
- (void)dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:(BOOL)animated;
