I absolutely agree, but it'll take Apple more than a few years to be willing to make iPhones have native app/PWA feature parity.

There's the new Hermes engine which should speed things up
The main reason React Native will stick around is that it lets React developers more easily transition to native, and there's a ton of React developers.
- banachtarski 7y agoMy point is that React on web is already faster than React Native today (and it feels perfectly natural, in fact, better). The entire point of going to React Native in the first place was ostensibly for responsiveness/performance, and given that it gives neither, I don't see what purpose React developers have to switch (except that it gives the illusion of "speed").
