Apple's keyboards have keys marked delete or a symbol where other keyboards have keys marked backspace, delete, or a symbol. Their utility was the same in my experience. What obvious difference did I not see?
For a long time Apple had keyboards with only delete (delete the character at or in front of the cursor) and not backspace (delete the character before the cursor).
