I'm trying to understand a basic point of the various graphics frameworks. Are UIView animations technically a feature of Core Animation or they an entirely different system? Where is the line drawn on differentiating the two?

The CoreAnimation
framework sits lower than UIKit
so it would probably be safe to assume that the UIKit
animations are simply built from CoreAnimation
animations rather than reimplementing their own animation logic. Below is the diagram from an Apple talk (Session 409 - Using the Camera with AV Foundation - 2010) to show how it's placed
