At WWDC 2025, Apple traded spectacle for substance. With the introduction of the elegant Liquid Glass design, powerful on-device AI integration, and thoughtful platform refinements, the event marked a quiet yet strategic course correction. At Burzcast, we see this as a fresh beginning — a recalibration that inspires us as developers and long-time users of Apple’s ecosystem. This is Apple building, not boasting — and we’re here to support and create every step of the way.

As the EU pushes for broader access to Apple’s APIs and alternative app distribution methods, it risks undermining the very foundation of trust, privacy, and security that defines Apple’s ecosystem. Regulation is necessary—but without a nuanced understanding of Apple’s architectural commitments, such mandates could force rushed, unsafe implementations. Excellence cannot be legislated into existence; it must be designed with intent, not imposed with a deadline.
As an EU-based company deeply reliant on innovative products from the United States—particularly Apple’s hardware and services—we are increasingly concerned about the impact of rising tariffs and political posturing on global trade. In a time when economic recovery is more crucial than ever, short-term protectionism threatens long-term prosperity. It is imperative that governments focus on stability, cooperation, and open markets, ensuring that innovation and growth remain accessible to businesses and consumers across the globe.

Apple’s recent decision to withdraw its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) service from the UK on February 21, 2025, marks a bold stand for digital privacy amid unprecedented government overreach. Confronted with a secret order mandating a global backdoor to access encrypted iCloud data—a demand that would have compromised user security on a massive scale—Apple chose to protect its users’ privacy rather than succumb to draconian measures. While this move leaves UK customers without the highest level of protection for certain iCloud data, it sends a powerful message that safeguarding personal information is non-negotiable, a stance that has resonated strongly with privacy advocates and lawmakers alike.
