Apple’s Master Plan (As Revealed Through WWDC 2025 Announcements)

Hello everyone.

Episode 2 of my all-new AVALON podcast is now available. This is my first unscripted audio podcast, focused on Apple product analysis and strategy. The podcast is loosely modeled after Apple’s Monday morning meetings. If you enjoy podcasts and Above Avalon, I think you would like AVALON. Episode 2, focused on WWDC, came in at 80 minutes.

Check out AVALON on social media for a few clips that will give you a taste of the show.

AVALON is 100% supported by its listeners. Special pricing for AVALON is available to Above Avalon members. Instead of paying $10/month or $100/year for AVALON on a standalone basis, bundle AVALON with your membership for just +$6/month or save even more by going with the +$60/year plan by filling out this form here. Another great deal is found with the Podcasts add-on that now provides access to both AVALON and the Above Avalon Daily podcasts (these updates in audio form) for +$10/month or +$100/year. You can fill out the form here to bundle the Podcasts add-on with your membership. That price amounts to getting AVALON for free as the Podcasts add-on was previously $10/month or $100/year just for Above Avalon Daily.

In today’s update, we will go over the handful of WWDC announcements that jumped out at me as signs of where Apple and the broader industry are headed.

Let’s jump in.
