@dynamic and @synthesize are completely different. @synthesize causes the compiler to implement a getter/setter that directly changes the class' ivar (or fakes it in the 64-bit runtime). @dynamic tells the compiler that there at runtime, there will be an implementation of the getter/setter for the property in question, so that the compiler doesn't give a warning about missing methods. Replacing one with the other would cause your program to fail.
