AI Tools and iOS Wishlist

This week, Federico and John begin their annual look at what they’d like to see Apple announce at WWDC 2025, starting with iOS and iPadOS 19.

On AppStories+, John explains why the recent contempt order entered against Apple is a bigger deal than most people realize, on multiple levels.

We deliver AppStories+ to subscribers with bonus content, ad-free, and at a high bitrate early every week.
