If I understand you correctly, you're mixing things up. The identifier is the reuse identifier. I.e. all cells with the same identifier are considered interchangeable when the table needs a new cell, so if there's an unused cell with the same identifier, it will be used. Setting the identifier has no effect on the kind of cell class that is created. The cell class is determined by the "Custom Class" of the view in the XIB file, not by its identifier. You could theoretically use the same class for all your cells, but use different constructors to set up their internals differently based on different reuse identifiers. That's why the identifier is separate from the cell class.
