Insider Views from WWDC 2025: What Apple Left Out in California
Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, held in California, left many game developers with mixed feelings. A veteran game developer, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared honest reactions from the event. The keynote presentation did not meet the high expectations set by previous years.
The developer noted that Apple’s announcements focused more on incremental updates and less on groundbreaking innovations. The new iOS 26 Games app, highlighted during the keynote, showed potential but lacked major features that could excite the gaming community. Many attendees hoped for more cutting-edge tools and technology tailored specifically to enhance game development on Apple platforms.
Despite the underwhelming updates, the event provided valuable networking opportunities. Developers exchanged ideas and discussed ways to push Apple’s existing frameworks to their limits. The keynote emphasized stability and refinement but fell short of inspiring the game developer audience.
Apple’s approach this year suggests a cautious strategy, focusing on polishing current offerings rather than unveiling revolutionary products. While some may find the updates disappointing, the community remains hopeful for more exciting news in the future.
