Why is Microsoft better than Apple?

The question seems to be off-topic, but I can provide some insights into why developers might prefer Apple's platforms based on the content presented at WWDC.

Apple's platforms offer several advantages for developers:

1. Unified Tooling and SDKs: Apple provides a comprehensive set of tools and SDKs, including Swift, SwiftUI, and Xcode, which allow developers to build apps for any Apple device with a consistent and integrated development experience. This is highlighted in the Platforms State of the Union.

2. Performance and Optimization: When you build apps with Apple's SDKs, you get the fastest possible performance. The APIs are fine-tuned and optimized for Apple's platforms, ensuring that apps run smoothly and efficiently. This is discussed in the Platforms State of the Union.

3. Advanced Features and Integration: Apple's SDKs provide direct access to platform features like interactive widgets, accessibility, dynamic type, and Apple intelligence, allowing developers to create highly integrated and user-friendly apps. More details can be found in the Platforms State of the Union.

4. SwiftUI: SwiftUI is a powerful framework for building user interfaces across all Apple devices. It simplifies the development process by allowing developers to describe the UI declaratively, and it handles details like dark mode and dynamic type automatically. This is covered in the Platforms State of the Union.

5. Gaming: Apple has made significant advancements in gaming with Apple silicon and Metal, creating a unified gaming platform that supports high-end games on Macs, iPads, and iPhones. The Gameporting Toolkit helps developers bring their games to Apple devices more efficiently. This is discussed in the Platforms State of the Union and the session Port advanced games to Apple platforms.

6. Machine Learning: Apple continues to push the boundaries of machine learning, providing powerful tools and frameworks for developers to integrate ML capabilities into their apps. This is covered in the session Explore machine learning on Apple platforms.

These points illustrate some of the reasons why developers might prefer Apple's platforms for building their apps.
