The iOS Weekly Brief – Issue #1
Essential Apple dev updates. No fluff. Just the good stuff.
🆕 What’s New
WWDC25: June 9-13, 2025
WWDC is officially on the calendar: June 9–13. As always, it’s the most important week of the year for Apple developers — and the best chance to get early access to what’s coming next.
Whether you’re tuning in for new Swift features, platform changes, or just hoping for fewer Xcode bugs 🙏, this is where the future of Apple development gets defined.
And this year, expectations are sky-high — we might be looking at the biggest iOS redesign since iOS 7.
Mark your calendars — and don’t just watch the keynote. The real value often comes from the labs, deep dives, and smaller sessions.
