Yes, Apple uses Swift extensively. Swift is a modern programming language that is not only ideal for app development but is also used throughout Apple's software stack. This includes apps, system services, frameworks, firmware like the secure enclave, and network services such as private cloud compute. Swift's safety, speed, and approachability, combined with built-in C and C++ interoperability, make it a compelling choice for even the most performance-sensitive and secure code. Apple is committed to adopting Swift in their C code bases to improve software quality both at Apple and throughout the industry.
