Bottom line:
RN paints with the same view kits (UIView / android.view.View).

What’s different isn’t “real vs fake” pixels.
It’s how much of the platform experience comes built in versus how much you recreate yourself.

React Native <View> vs Swift / Jetpack Compose:
what does “native view” actually mean?

Let’s separate rendering from “feels native.”

[Reddy @Reddy_3001]

Simple ladder:

0 · RN View / bare UIView — canvas
1 · Hand-styled “controls” on boxes
2 · Expo UI / SwiftUI / Compose controls
3 · System UI (share sheet, pickers…)

Higher = more platform behavior.
Not “more real” pixels—you already had those.

@expo Great article. @sanketsahu, would you say these principles are already shaping the experience we're building with @rapidnative?
