According to comments from Apple Insider, Apple gifts for the WWDC event are much more frugal than expensive electronic devices that Google and Microsoft have given developers at their events. For example, in 2012, Google IO attendees were given Samsung Galaxy Nexus phones, Asus Nexus 7 mini tablets, a Nexus Q Google TV device and a Samsung Chromebox computer. Last year, Google also donated to high-resolution Chromebook Pixel laptop attendees.

Also at the 2012 Build event of Microsoft, attendees were also given Nokia Lumia 920 phone, Surface RT netbook device. Then in 2013, they were awarded the Surface Pro and Acer Iconia W3 Windows 8. This year, the gift is an Xbox One and an increase gift card worth $ 500.

The big difference is that Apple developers have a good foundation in programming, and a large number of potential audiences will buy their applications. In addition, it should be noted that nearly all of the devices Google and Microsoft gave to their developers in previous years are quite outdated.

Google has not even upgraded to Android 4.4 KitKat operating system for its Galaxy Nexus line, while Nexus 7 is still flooded with hardware and software defects. And Google TV " Q " belongs to the product failed. While Microsoft Surface, devices running Windows 8 and Windows Phone have similar weaknesses.
