How to proper use UIImage with tint color?

This can seem trivial, but I saw lot of people complaining about not working tint color when using UIImage. Here is the proper way:

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"my_image"];
imageView.image = [image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
[imageView setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

The point is – “imageWithRenderingMode” method just returns new image with rendering mode set, it does not changes anything in image object itself.
