Apple Push Notification Service vs Azure Notification Hubs: What are the differences?

Developers describe Apple Push Notification Service as "A platform notification service *". It is the centerpiece of the remote notifications feature. It is a robust, secure, and highly efficient service for app developers to propagate information to iOS (and, indirectly, watchOS), tvOS, and macOS devices. On the other hand, *Azure Notification Hubs** is detailed as "Send push notifications to any platform from any back end". Tutorials, API references, and other documentation show you how to set up and send push notifications from any backend to any mobile device.

Apple Push Notification Service and Azure Notification Hubs belong to "Web Push Notifications" category of the tech stack.
