Question

Answer 1

Use separate UITableViewControllers and swap the views. It's less code, less complexity and it's the way Apple does it with the TabBar.

As for code complexity, there really isn't any. You simply do the following to switch views when the UISegmentedControl's value has changed:

UIView *previousSuperview = myViewController1.view.superview;
myViewController2.view.frame = myViewController1.view.frame;
[myViewController1.view removeFromSuperview];
[previousSuperview addSubview:myViewController2.view];

Alternatively, you could set the corresponding view's hidden property.
