Why does Apple use TIFF for their images?
Part of it is probably tradition. I think that tiff files were the
native, or at least predominant, image format on NeXT / OpenStep,
where Cocoa was born.
Personally, I also prefer to not use lossy compression for regular
user interface image resources. I don't think it makes sense to
introduce compression artefacts, regardless of how small, in these
cases.
Maybe TIFFs are faster to display because they're uncompressed?
While that might be true, I rarely think the difference would matter
at all.
