Swift Mastery Series — Part 8: Swift Structs: Why Apple Chooses Value Types Over Classes

One of the biggest mindset shifts in Swift is realizing that struct isn't a lightweight version of class.

It's a deliberate design choice.

In this article, I cover:

  • Why Apple recommends value types
  • struct vs class
  • Value vs reference semantics
  • Copy-on-Write
  • Performance and concurrency benefits
  • When a class is still the right choice

If you've ever wondered why Swift favors struct, this guide explains the reasoning behind it.
