It’s extremely likely that come June next year, Apple will hold another WWDC conference. It’s also likely that we’ll see new and updated SDKs and a new beta of Xcode at that event.

Which means that right now, teams of people inside Apple are hard at work figuring out and implementing features and fixes to unveil in about seven months. Yes, it’s really only seven months until WWDC! 😱

It’s almost certainly too late for feedback to influence Apple’s priorities for next year’s releases, but I’d love to know what you’d all prioritise. I’d love it if you let me know what you hope Apple is working on for WWDC 2025.

Next week, I’ll take your replies and mix them with some of my own thoughts to create a special issue that tries to sum up what the community is hoping for in 2025.

So, what developer-focused features do you hope that Apple is hard at work on for next year’s WWDC?

And finally...

It feels hard to believe this happened thirty years ago. 😱

Internet access was pretty hard to find in 1994 in the UK. Even though I was a university student at the time, my university did not give internet access to students. Well, they didn’t officially give us access to the internet. Did that stop us? It did not. 😂 I fondly remember using early versions of Mosaic, HotJava, and this first public release of Netscape Navigator.
