WWDC 2025: What Every Indie Dev Needs to Watch

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

WWDC Watch together Live Stream

The Part-time Solopreneur

Hey, Reader

Apple drops WWDC 2025 in just a few days, and honestly? This one feels different.

I'll be doing a live commentary stream on Kick during the keynote: https://kick.com/aivarsmeijers​

Join me as we watch Apple hopefully answer some big questions that could change how we build apps.

What I'm Actually Watching For

AI APIs (Finally?) Everyone's talking about Apple being behind in AI. If they're serious about Apple Intelligence, we need real APIs we can actually use. Not just demos - actual tools that let us build smarter apps.

Design System Changes​
Rumors are flying about new UI components and design patterns. As indie devs, we adapt fast to new design languages. It could be our chance to stand out while bigger companies are still figuring it out.

Siri Integration Points If Apple finally fixes Siri (big if), there might be new ways to integrate our apps with voice commands. It could open up entirely new user experiences.

Why This Matters for Indies

Look, Apple's been making it harder for small developers lately. But WWDC usually brings new opportunities if you know where to look.

​

I'll be breaking down everything in real-time from an indie dev perspective:

  • Which new APIs actually matter for small teams
  • What design changes should you adopt immediately
  • Which announcements are just marketing fluff

Stream starts 30 minutes before the keynote:https://kick.com/aivarsmeijers​

Come to the live stream to watch together, no BS analysis, just practical insights you can use.

Quick Question

What are you most hoping to see from Apple this year? Hit reply and let me know - I might address it during the stream.

Talk soon,

Aivars

P.S. If you can't make the live stream, I'll send a follow-up email with the key takeaways for indie developers. No need to watch 2 hours of marketing speak.
