Safari is faster on iOS because it's and Apple Product with an Apple Product. That's how it is with everything they make. 

It's not faster "just 'cause it's Apple," it's faster for security reasons. A javascript accelerator is a specialized compiler and it requires permissions which would allow your device to run arbitrary code. Apple trusts their own app not to use those permissions to hack the user's device, but they don't trust third parties not to. So third party developers can use the same WebKit rendering engine Safari uses, but they cannot use Nitro or any other javascript accelerator.

 

You really just confirmed that statement just with a more detailed explanation.
