WWDC 2025 final performance

Today at WWDC 2025, Apple introduced a ton of updates across its software ecosystem, opting for a design overhaul, more AI-driven capabilities, and enhanced developer tools. While users had been mostly anticipating iOS 26 and what features the upgrade would bring, there were many other key announcements, including the Liquid Glass design language across its platforms, macOS 26, and watchOS 26. Even though the keynote was shorter than the past events, those who stuck around until the end were in for a surprise.

Typically, WWDC keynotes can last up to two hours due to the major software announcements, but this time, they were relatively shorter, even when the updates brought in were significant. While the tech community remains hooked on the event throughout, many Apple fans also take a keen interest in watching it. Apple makes announcements in its own unique way, and this time, it closed the event in a fun and memorable manner.

The keynote was wrapped up in a novel way with a soulful performance incorporating App Store reviews left by its users into what could be called a celebratory performance of the community's feedback to the company. The tribute was performed by Allen Stone and was called 6 out of 5 stars dedicated to the developers and the user reviews left for the tech giant.

The heartfelt performance included some snippets of the feedback that stood in doubt, such as "Saved my marriage" or even "If this does not win the best app of the year, I"ll eat a shoe." The somewhat humorous performance also highlighted how a seamless experience of the apps can truly impact users' lives. Apps like Sleep Cycle were highlighted to emphasize this part even further.

The performance was not only creative but also gave the room a reason to celebrate and reminded everyone that tech does not always have to revolve around monotonous upgrades. Everyone can, in a while, enjoy a performance meant to make the event count. By highlighting the heart behind the software and using unedited, raw user reviews, Apple elevated user voices and reinforced its commitment to the community and its connection with it.
