WWDC 2025: Should You Wait to Upgrade? |
The 2025 Apple World Wide Developers Conference has come and gone. Every year there is a lot of anticipation about new products, enhancements, and upcoming hardware changes that have many of us waiting until the Fall to purchase new Macs or devices. Last year the headline was Apple Intelligence that has yet to be fully released, and in this year's conference they just hung a new "Coming Soon" sign on it, promising more to come later this year. Well, we have heard that before. So, what did they announce? There were a whole host of minor enhancements, tweaks, and the rename of all of their operating systems, but for the most part there was no ground-breaking app or that one new thing that would make us wait until the Fall to purchase a new device. I don't think the lack of a big announcement is a bad thing for Apple. They need to finish Apple Intelligence and have it work as promised. In fact, with AI being the biggest thing across all tech in 2025 it should be their main focus. So, taking a year to just tweak and tinker with the base operating systems is probably a good move so they can concentrate on the big stuff and not get left behind. Bottom line: If you were waiting to get a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac in anticipation of a big reveal in the Fall, it looks like that isn't going to happen. According to what was presented at WWDC the full line of Apple products should meet the needs of most every user. If you want a brief rundown on what was announced from Liquid Glass to macOS Tahoe 26, MacRumors has an article by item breakdown: https://www.macrumors.com/2025/06/09/everything-apple-announced-wwdc-2025/ |
