Boy, I considered myself pretty well-versed in C++ (and pretty good at C proper) and looked at Objective C like it was Delphi or something the first time.
I wouldn't say it's a simple transition, even if it is a superset. You can get away with writing a great deal of an iOS app without doing much in C proper at all.

Coming from a C/C++ background myself (and Java) I found it pretty straight-forward to learn. It wasn't free, but not too bad either. And I'd argue they've fixed most of the annoying things these days (synthesize was my biggest annoyance, never could understand why that couldn't be automated as it is now).
