When using my dev tools it shows perfectly for mobile but on my actual mobile my apps do not show correctly. Is this a bug with the iphone 6?

if you want to look at the index file or css. I am pretty sure I have it correct though.
Same problem encountered.
I read their documentation https://getbootstrap.com
Browser support
• Dropped IE8, IE9, and iOS 6 support. v4 is now only IE10+ and iOS 7+. For sites needing either of those, use v3.
• Added official support for Android v5.0 Lollipop’s Browser and WebView. Earlier versions of the Android Browser and WebView remain only unofficially supported.

We have an offline-enabled web app that up until now has worked in both Chrome and Firefox on iOS (but not Safari).
We just tested with a new, up-to-date iPad and found that while Safari still has issues with incomplete indexedDB support Chrome and Firefox now don't operate offline at all.
Versions are iOS 9.2.1, Chrome 48.0.2564.104.
This thread seems to suggest that Chrome at least is now using WKWebView which doesn't support Application Cache.

Can anyone confirm that my understanding of this is correct, ie that it's a fact that Chrome/Firefox on iOS just don't support Application Cache at all anymore, and that only Apple could change this?
Any suggestions on what we can do about it? The only thing I can think of right now is that we'll need to get the app working in Safari by using something other than indexedDB.
As you mentioned both Chrome and Firefox on iOS has issue with appCache, because both are WebKit based.
• The related bug is reported here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152490
“Application cache is not supported by WKWebView, but window.applicationCache object exists! so web pages cann’t distinguish if applicationCache is not supported or it is not loaded yet.”

"Chrome 48 on iOS will be as fast as Safari on iOS for the first time ever thanks to a switch from iOS ’UIWebView’ rendering engine to the ‘WKWebView’ engine”
Chrome iOS ver 48.x.x.x release date was 2016-01-27
• This version uses WKWebView, the latest rendering engine from Apple.
Instead of IndexDB you try to use localStorage to keep your data, just one of the possible suggestions.
Checked caniuse.com but I couldn't find anything regarding support for picture element in Chrome on iOS. What's the current support status and where can I find some more info?

Chrome on iOS uses WkWebView which is WebKit. From your link it looks like Safari iOS supports it so Chrome on iOS should too.
I'm having difficulty inspecting web pages on mobile Safari.
I'm using an iPhone 5S with the latest version of iOS 7 and the Safari nightly builds on Mac. I've also got the relevant options turned on for the iPhone and desktop Safari but my device never appears in the Develop option in Safari.
Has this feature been removed in iOS 7 or am I going mad?
Update: Furthermore, this seems to work fine with an iPad running iOS 7 so I've ruled out the version of iOS. And I've tried it with two different devices (both same spec, 5S) which don't work
I read an article recently which states that web apps on iOS launched from the home screen running in full screen mode have slower performance than webapps running inside safari.
Then I found a followup article to it which seems to sugguest that the issue above is fixed.
Does anyone know if this is confirmed?
According to information from appleinsider, ios5 beta fixes that problem and now Nitro JavaScript engine enabled on Web.app.
I've iOS 5 installed on my iphone4 and updated SunSpider JavaScript testing framework 0.9.1 (to be able to start as fullscreen web application under ios). And I've started subspider several times in fullscreen webapp mode and in Safari mobile. So, see my results below (images are clickable):
May be something was fixed (apple insider provides 4 vs 10 seconds difference), but I can't say that performance is equals in both cases (3756.5ms vs 5243.8ms for those who can't see images).
UPD
Small interesting note about UIWebView, it is impossible to use Nitro-enabled JavaScript engine in native applications (I mean applications designed in Xcode and posted to AppStore) because Nitro JIT requires to be able to use dynamic code signing.
UPD
Look at iOS 5 Top 10 Browser Performance Changes on blaze.io, Seems Apple enabled Nitro for Fullscreen WebApps in iOS5 (nice statistics in article).
I am new to mobile development and I was wondering if the applications I develop using phonegap will work correctly on Blackberry OS 5 since they don't support it yet. I won't need any fancy features in my app and wanted to use phonegap to develop for Android, IPhone and Blackberry. But of course I am having problems with the different versions of Blackberry OS just like everyone else.
Thanx.
I had a chance to test this once. I have put my Phonegap application on 5.0 and observed how it behaves. Application has launched properly. But i Observed following issues.
HTML5 is supported but localStorage and sessionStorage is not supported.You need to find an alternative.
HTML Page transition is too slow. End used will certainly not accept the performance.
Few jQueryMobile API's don't work.
You cannot be sure that page will be viewed same as you see in 6.0+. Few elements get distorted.
You need to test each and every UI element and see if it is working proper.For example datepicker displays date on right side of the page instead of left
Few PhoneGap API's don't work or they crash.For example API to launch camera crashes.
After observing above issues i felt that even if phonegap is supported in 5.0 it doesn't make big sense.
Yes, but to run on OS version 4.x you have to target the PhoneGap BlackBerry application, while to run on OS version 5 or 6 you need to target BlackBerry Widgets / WebWorks -- the same application may work on both if you use compatible features, but you'll need two different builds, as though they were two different kinds of phone.
Now the support for earlier versions of BlackBerry has been withdrawn from Cordova 3.0 onwards, which in turn supports BlackBerry 10 only. Refer the following link for more details.
