I'm not sure what you mean by UIWebView being an "older implementation of webkit". UIWebView uses the same version of WebKit as Safari on iOS, which is essentially the same version of WebKit as is shipped with Safari on OS X.
- lukeman 14y agoRight, the difference is Mobile Safari and home screen web apps use the Nitro engine while UIWebView still uses JavaScriptCore IIRC.
- bdash 14y agoNitro is Apple's marketing name for JavaScriptCore, so UIWebView and Safari both make use of Nitro. The difference you're thinking of is whether a JIT compiler is used. That difference has nothing to do with the age of the version of WebKit used in UIWebView vs Safari.
