It uses the iPhones Quicktime player. Underneath it appears to use a generic API intended for mobile devices (URL is something like m.youtube.com) as others have noted, the youtube app doesn’t use flash.

However, to the best of the public's knowledge, there is not, in fact, Flash anywhere on the iPhone. The YouTube app views videos encoded with the H.264 codec, hence the multitude of videos that are on the YouTube website but are not included in the app, those that haven't yet been converted. YouTube is in the process of converting videos to the H.264 codec for the iPhone, Apple TV (yep, it doesn't have flash either), and possibly other future projects. For a while, I was under the impression that there was some algorithm that chose videos to be encoded first, potentially those with more views. However, I've seen quite a few videos on the iPhone's YouTube with very few views, so I now have reason to believe that it's a much more arbitrary process. Anyway, thanks again for writing. Just putting my two cents in. Nice post. However, to the best of the public’s knowledge, there is not, in fact, Flash anywhere on the iPhone.
