Why not? I agree that QtQuick is usually the way to go for implementing mobile
UI, but that doesn't exclude QtWidgets for any reasons a developer may wish to
use it. When we did the BlackBerry port, we did implement a BlackBerry style,
which could achieve native look and feel decently. This comes really handy
when you are porting apps from the desktop.
I think implementing a native iOS style wouldn't be hard. I don't know much
about iOS development, but if what Jake says about being able to render
controls to off-screen buffers, then it should be completely feasible.
Of course, even better would be a set of QML components, but these are not
mutually exclusive approaches.
