That's my point. I'm rarely, if ever, in my browser on either of my iOS devices (iPhone 6 or iPad).

If you're not writing a native app, don't bother. Facebook learned this lesson, I'm sure everyone else does eventually as well.

Yeah, because the browser doesn't offer the capabilities needed to render native apps redundant. I'm not sure why we're talking in a giant circle here.

Clearly, the "build for IE6 + Windows" of 2016 is "build for native iOS", which was the original point I was making.
