Apple may be sabotaging the performance of web apps on iOS, by deliberately making them run slower when run in full screen mode (i.e. when you launch them from the home screen). When web apps are run using the Safari browser, however, performance is reportedly normal. So the exact same app runs differently depending on how it is launched? You got it. And it may be an intentional move by the company.Apple's iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad all have the ability to run two types of apps. The first is the native type of app, written in the Objective-C language, which is specifically written for Apple's iOS. The second type are the so-called web apps, which can be written in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. The benefit of the latter type of app is that it can be run on any mobile device, as opposed to native apps, which are specific to Apple's platform. Web apps can be accessed through the device's browser but can also be offered for download, in which case the software runs directly on the phone.One mobile web app developer even went as far as to say that "Apple is basically using subtle defects to make web apps appear to be low quality – even when they claim HTML5 is a fully supported platform". A test performed by The Register confirms the slower performance of locally-run web apps. What's worse, Apple reportedly know about the "bug", but have let it be known they have no intention of fixing it.So what do you think? Is this a way for Apple to make web apps look bad in favor of App Store-sold software (of which they take a 30% cut)?
