I’m just studying development for ios,
before that I wrote in java for many years, then in python / django ...
And I have a feeling that Swift + StoryBoards + AutoLayouts + Core Data is good, but somehow very low level for 2015.
It seems that I can draw ViewControllers, and even paste segues with the mouse. This is convenient although you can write in text.
And then I describe the data model and rewriting all sorts of prepareForSegue and so on begins.
I have to write a lot myself, the best I could find is ParserUI, but it is tailored to their platform.
Maybe there are some other tools (add-ons for UIKit) that make it possible to quickly translate thoughts into a product.
In the django world it's called Batteries included.
Where are the batteries :)

Are you kidding me? Where even higher? Already completely lazy. I advise you to use what Apple offers. They have great documentation and guides that explain everything in detail, great videos from WWDC that also explain everything in detail.

I can’t even figure out something, what then is high level for iOS in your understanding ...

Swift is far from low-level.
I don't know what can be difficult in storyboards.
Autolayout is really a tricky thing. You can replace it, but it will be either a radically different, or no less confused thing. (Components, ReactJS)
CoreData really has a lot of boilerplate. This can be solved with wrappers, such as the popular MagicalRecord framework, and most of the operations will be in one line.
But again, you need to understand what this line does.
In general, all batteries are in 3rd party frameworks.
