I can't provide a comparison between Microsoft and Apple. However, I can share some of the exciting developments and features that Apple presented at WWDC. Here are some highlights:
-
Porting Advanced Games to Apple Platforms:
- Apple has improved the evaluation environment for porting Windows games to Apple devices, including support for AVX instructions, ray tracing, and enhanced graphics and compute compatibility. This allows developers to better understand how their games will perform on Apple hardware (Port advanced games to Apple platforms).
- The new Metal tools within Xcode enable debugging and profiling of HLSL shaders at any stage of the porting process, making it easier to bring high-quality games to Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
-
Apple Intelligence and Machine Learning:
- Apple is integrating generative intelligence into the core of its platforms, enhancing the way developers write code and create applications (Platforms State of the Union).
- Machine learning on Apple platforms leverages built-in intelligence and powerful Mac GPUs to train and fine-tune models using frameworks like PyTorch powered by Metal (Explore machine learning on Apple platforms).
-
Device Management:
- New features in Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager make it easier to deploy and manage Apple devices in educational and enterprise environments (What’s new in device management).
- Updates include new activation lock features, phased software update rollouts, and the ability to manage Safari extensions via MDM (What’s new in device management).
-
Developer Tools and SDKs:
- Xcode continues to be a powerful tool for developers, offering capabilities to write Swift code, create experiences with SwiftUI, and get performance insights using instruments (Platforms State of the Union).
- Apple's native SDKs provide everything needed to build high-performance apps, ensuring that developers can create the best possible experiences on Apple devices (Platforms State of the Union).
-
Gaming on Apple Devices:
- With advancements in Metal and Apple silicon, Apple devices like the Mac, iPad with M series chips, and iPhone 15 Pro can now play console-class games, creating a unified gaming platform (Platforms State of the Union).
These are just a few of the many innovations and updates Apple has introduced to enhance the developer and user experience on its platforms.
