Modern iOS networking has evolved far beyond traditional REST APIs. Technologies such as HTTP/3, WebSockets, GraphQL, gRPC, QUIC, and Network.framework are reshaping how iOS applications handle real-time communication, low-latency synchronization, typed contracts, and adaptive network behavior. Contemporary networking on Apple platforms now focuses on streaming, persistent connections, transport optimization, and network-aware delivery policies rather than simple request-response patterns.
