Ok, I got it!...
But how exactly is this different from directly using OpenURL method?
I mean what difference does it make if we directly use "OpenURL method" to invoke safari instead of goin thru UIWebView class?

That is for opening links in Safari from an internal web view in your app, instead of them opening in your web view. If you need to just launch a URL outside of a web view, use the openURL method.
