APPLE RETREATS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

WWDC 2025 marked a humbling shift for Apple, as it acknowledged unfulfilled AI promises from the previous year and instead refocused on core strengths like hardware-software integration, continuity features, and a new unified design language called Liquid Glass. Rather than chasing generative AI hype, Apple's keynote emphasized a strategic retreat to what it does best — delivering polished, tightly integrated user experiences and enabling developers, signaling a more grounded and sustainable path forward.
