Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2025 in 10 Minutes

Apple bought Pixelmator, and frankly I'm stunned they didn't announce a publishing suite as a new app alongside the rest of their Office offerings for the Mac. What gives?

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.

You said so. AI is the game and Apple lost
 
This was so lacklustre I stopped watching and just read about the changes. I am really tired of the Apple pre- recorded videos and all of the marketing speak. Nothing in this is profound or most powerful ever etc etc. all they have really done is give iOS the Vista treatment by saying would you like to change the opacity of your boxes. It is not a whole new design at all.

Unifying all the OS is a mistake. Instead of bringing your tablet closer to being desktop class your determined to have your desktops emulate your mobile platform.

Under Cook, Apple has been great for the shareholders but there wont be a generational leap product or service.
Have they increased the base allowance of icloud? Have they made icloud cheaper? No. Something that would be interesting.

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

This is likely simplistic but wouldn't it be great if they could just create a unified OS for the three platforms (iOS, iPadOS, MacOS) that scales the UI to the screen it's being viewed on much like a responsive/ fluid web design. I guess doing this would create more OS bloat for the smaller devices.

When they started takking about Liquid glass - I was like - so, you have come to some coherent vision at last - but, no, after that they fragmented back into showcasing million features instead of explaining the vision behind those features. It seems there is no leader within Apple these days. They just roll out stuff every year. They need to start thinking what really matters to people these days and descend from their californian heavens. Otherwise this won't get anywhere.

I was really hoping for big improvements with the Health app to persuade me back to the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch collects all this data but doesn't present it as well as it could. By contrast, my Garmin looks at your stress, sleep, "body battery", and exercise to give you advice on how to manage your wellness for that day based on these metrics. The last time I owned an Apple Watch it simply regurgitated data and made you interpret it for yourself.

I'm surprised we didn't see some sort of new AI interpretation of your biometrics data on par with the Garmin. Instead we got "health buddy" which from what I saw, simply pukes out meaningless platitudes as you're working out. Personally for me, this would be more annoying than useful.

I'm hoping that health buddy will be more useful than what we saw in the keynote.

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.

Apple is the envy of the industry, for both hardware and software.

Give 3 solid examples to the contrary.

They *just* announced a major next step in UI design language, and it's "stale"?

What wouldn't be stale?

It's funny... people complain about "AI this", "AI that"... and then say "Apple is behind in AI"... while they fail to realize that Apple's approach to AI is different. It's deeply threaded throughout the software, in ways that are hard to appreciate.

Apple is a platform provider. They don't *need* to compete with every user-facing feature. Other companies buy Apple products to develop user-facing features. This is what all the doom-and-gloomers keep missing.

Apple is smart to avoid one monolithic operating system that "runs everywhere". Each of their operating systems are built on top of the same foundational "frameworks". That's where the cohesion exists ... lower down ... and it's a much better approach at the end of the day. It allows streamlined development of core functionality while delivering a user experience unique to each device.

I was thinking something similar, and think glass is complete evidence that there is no one who has the final say on aesthetics who knows what they are doing.

This was... depressing.
At least you can customize the UI a bit more.

Don't forget the "LIQUID GLASS" design. "Liquid Glass" "it's liquid glass"
"the groundbreaking liquid glass interface"

It's a GUI. It's not glass.

Its almost like they might have a liquid glass device in the works...

People like this need to get a grip. The software looks beautiful and was a much needed upgrade in design. Some cool new features.
Understand they are a company that is running a marathon, not a sprint. What these people want besides beautiful hardware and software is beyond what they could even articulate, let alone design themselves.

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.

I'm an iOS dev too. Still to watch and catch up. What's your top 3 platform and productivity enhancements from today?
