The new version uses the <video> tag. Although YouTube has its own native application that installs on over 100 million mobile devices; YouTube's product manager Andrey Doronichev made is very clear that the web based app is superior in every way. Rolling out newer version of YouTube in the form of a web app is a part of the new trend it is setting - favoring web based apps over native apps.
The native iPhone application has apparently failed to keep up with the latest developments at YouTube. The quality of video on YouTube's new webapp is far superior than any other native app. The reason behind this is that the iPhone app still uses the streaming technology for 'EDGE' and not 3G, while the new web app uses streaming technology for 3G.
