Welcome to this week’s edition of our newsletter.

What a WWDC it has been! Apple delivered some truly exciting announcements: a more capable Siri, new Apple Intelligence integrations, stronger platform foundations, and a renewed focus on privacy, safety, and performance.

Across Foundation Models, Core AI, Xcode 27, SwiftUI, App Intents, and the broader platform updates, Apple seems to be aiming for something more pragmatic this year: making AI and modern app development easier to adopt without making the ecosystem feel heavier.

The keynote had the big moments, but the Platforms State of the Union is where the direction became clearer: better tools, more capable frameworks, and APIs that make these new capabilities easier to use in real products.

The Community

One of the best parts of WWDC is seeing how quickly the community starts exploring, testing, and explaining everything Apple just announced. Within days, developers are already digging into the new APIs, finding the interesting details and turning the announcements into practical examples we can all learn from.

These post are not just a recap of what’s new, but a snapshot of how fast and generously the developer community helps everyone understand what’s next.

SwiftUI reorderable containers in iOS 27 → Livsy Code
