My partner has an iPhone and runs Chrome on her iPhone and I think USB-C is coming soon. Your time is now friend!

Chrome on iOS is basically a WebKit skin, so it’s still safari (at least for now, apparently both google and Mozilla are developing ports of their browser engines for iOS).

Apple still forces 3rd party browsers to use Webkit to render the page. Every browser on iOS is Safari with a slightly different skin for managing tabs and bookmarks.

I think this is changing, but native iOS versions of Chrome and Firefox have not been released yet.
