Apple persists in limiting Mobile Safari's capabilities, even as Chrome 145 introduces significant new features for Android, iOS, and iPadOS users. The source lists numerous modern web platform APIs that Chrome 145 supports, including Background Sync, Bluetooth, NFC, Payment, and advanced media capture, which remain largely unavailable in Mobile Safari. This ongoing restriction forces developers to create separate experiences for Apple's platforms, increasing development complexity and potentially degrading user experience on iOS devices compared to Android.

The disparity highlights Apple's continued control over its browser environment, prioritizing its own ecosystem integration over universal web standards adoption.
