The question seems to be about whether async/await replaces Combine in Swift. Based on the context from the WWDC sessions, async/await is a concurrency model introduced in Swift to handle asynchronous operations more naturally and efficiently. It allows functions to suspend execution until an asynchronous task completes, using the async and await keywords.

While async/await provides a simpler and more intuitive way to write asynchronous code, it does not directly replace Combine. Combine is a framework for handling asynchronous events over time, providing a declarative Swift API for processing values over time. It is particularly useful for reactive programming patterns.

Both async/await and Combine can be used to handle asynchronous operations, but they serve different purposes and can be used together depending on the needs of your application. For example, you might use async/await for straightforward asynchronous tasks and Combine for more complex event-driven programming.
