I’m curious what professional iOS developers are currently using for their Swift/SwiftUI work.
For modern iOS 26 development, how would you compare:
- GPT 5.5
- Claude Opus 4.7
- GPT 5.3 Codex
I’m mainly interested in practical coding help:
- SwiftUI architecture
- SwiftData
- concurrency / actors / u/MainActor
- debugging compiler errors
- refactoring existing code
- reasoning about Apple APIs
- generating production-quality code
- avoiding outdated SwiftUI patterns
I’m not asking about vibe coding or generating whole apps without understanding the code. I’m interested in day-to-day help for developers who still read, test, and own the code.
