WWDC 2025 was pretty disappointing, though it was to be expected.

 

[Dark_Omen]

Every June under Tim Cook, Apple keeps disappointing more and more.

People need to stop buying this stuff. Yes the hardware is solid... The software has been stale for years.

 

[heretiq]

I’m excited. I think this was one of the better WWDCs. Purely software focused. Solid enhancements. Plus solid dev tooling updates and AFM Framework are both game changers for Apple platform Developers.

 

[darngooddesign]

CarPlay now shows the racing line. 🤣

Apple literally did nothing relevant in this Keynote.

They put a new coat of paint on a stale operating system that has numerous bugs, and then added a touch here and there that aren't significant features. iOS is slowly becoming an operating system for kids... Just look at the Genmoji feature.

Wanna know what's coming in September? An iPhone that looks exactly the same as last year's.... Except it'll be aluminium, have different color options, a 1% faster chip, and a camera that's .1mm larger in circumference.

The shareholders need to get a grip and can the C-Suite team.

 

[flybass]

as expected - pretty crappy release across the board.

I disagree. Kids don't need call hold or Mac-like windows in iPadOS. Yeah, the Genmoji stuff is dumb. But I think the software is starting to grow again.

Fair enough. Apple could've just slapped MacOS on the iPad and I would've been content with that.

 

[Mavrick33332]

I remember when Apple did an OS update that focused on improving the operation of software, not just flashy items. I feel like they are exploring features that matter more to make the devices more useful. It may not be revolutionary but I like the tweaks.

This was WWDC — there was a ton of platform and productivity enhancements for devs that may go unnoticed, but will none-the-less unlock near term app innovations for every day users. That’s the purpose of WWDC and Apple nailed it in this developer’s opinion.

 

[PlayUltimate]

With the updates, the iPad is a more useful device. And the iPhone becomes, even better, at communicating the things that matter back to you. It seems that the Mac itself is becoming a more niche product for higher end uses and devs.

 

[bobesch]

Always the same story:
as soon as there is more computing power, it is immediately burned by eye-candy and fancy gimmicks.
(And in the internet by more ads and more data-collection ...).
So capable fine old hardware is willfully rendered obsolete.

 

[cashville2400]

I want to be excited but… I just can’t. Although, I do like some of these features for the iPad.

 

[abatabia]

A very slickly produced distraction, and for once I staying miles away from betas this year.

 

[Andy_2341]

What do you mean? Why are you staying away from them?

 

[TomaxXamot]

I wish I’d have had the Hold Assist feature today. During half my workout I was on hold for 45 minutes with a shipping company waiting to speak to someone that could reschedule a delivery. And every 60 seconds the robo voice would interrupt the ****** music to let me know my call was important to them. Mind numbing.

Makes me wonder whether, if this feature becomes ubiquitous across mobile platforms (no idea if Android has it), hold times will increase as companies further reduce the number of customer service representatives they pay for, which already feels like it’s at an all time low.

 

[urbanlung]

everyone here seems to be bitching but once you’ve invented the cube there’s not much more that you can do to improve it’s cubynss. The only remaining territory is AI, everything else has hit a plateau.

 

[DocMultimedia]

Or the one second version: glossier icons. Done.

 

[segfaultdotorg]

So, iPhoneOS 26 and iPadOS 26 will be available tomorrow, on Patch Tuesday?

 

[theorist9]

Great job on the summary! Being able to have the phone notify me when someone picks up, so I don't have to listen to hold music, and can instead return to my work tasks, is a great feature.

So no new hardware announcements?

 

[Rayansb]

I thought it was one of the better WWDC's. Finally some focus on software. Hopefully it won't be too buggy.

 

[xraydoc]

Thanks for the video overview!

 

[StoneJack]

Ipad os is now less useless No finder though yet

 

[HiRez]

I'm not blown away but there's some genuinely useful stuff in there. For me, better iPad multitasking, live translation, call hold notifications, and Notes on Apple Watch were the highlights.

Maybe in another 10 or 15 years we get multi-user logins on iPad, who knows.
