Every WWDC should end with a song composed of app reviews

The author of the article started tracking the number of times the word "delightful" was used during WWDC 2025, and it was used at least eight times to describe various elements of Apple's upcoming platforms. The author found this to be overly enthusiastic and eye-rolling, similar to their reaction to Apple's attempts to inject levity and personality into its keynotes. Apple's keynotes often feature cringe-worthy moments, particularly from Craig Federighi, which can be amusing but also cheesy. The author also found the developer devotion at WWDC to be overly eager and insincere at times. However, the final three minutes of the event were a highlight for the author, featuring a grand piano and a full band performing real reviews of apps in a musical format. This concept is not new, but Apple's execution was well-done and entertaining, making it a delightful surprise. The reviews were heartfelt and humorous, and the performance managed to combine developer appreciation, production value, and entertainment in a single package. The song was performed by soul/R&B singer Allen Stone and is available to watch on YouTube, and the author highly praises the producer who came up with the idea. The author's initial skepticism was won over by this creative and amusing segment, which was a standout moment in the event. Overall, the author was impressed by the way Apple was able to make a typically dull topic entertaining and engaging, and they appreciate the effort that went into creating this unique and delightful experience.
