Is Swift better than Objective-C for iPhone app development?

The question is about iphone app developers

Answer:

Yes, Swift is generally better than Objective-C for iPhone app development due to its modern features, ease of use, and improved performance. Swift has neat and tight syntax, much more readable and writable compared to Objective-C’s wordy syntax. The features in Swift are designed to make runtime errors less likely: optionals, type interference make the code safer and, thus, more reliable.
Swift is optimized to be used in Apple’s ecosystem, and it has the continuous support and updates for further development by Apple. Objective-C is relevant to projects involving legacy code, but less so in new development. For modern applications, Swift is the language of choice.
