Facebook Plans to Speed Up its iPhone App

One of the Facebook engineers said the new application has been built primarily using Objective-C, the programming language used to build applications for iOS. Many of the components of the current version of the Facebook app are built using HTML5, the Web-based markup language.

Facebook is finally giving their mobile platform some love. Being one of the largest social media platform, their mobile app has been terrible, which lead to many people disengaging from the site out of pure frustration.

With the recent update of the Google+ iPhone app, which is beautiful and very fast, Facebook had to do something, and the new version is supposed to be released this summer.
