Apple shipped a LOT of new devices in 2025. Some of it ruled, some of it was baffling, and all of it came with a new set of tradeoffs you only notice after a week of living with the thing. So I took every Apple video I made this year and stitched it into one big, chaptered marathon.
What you will find here is the full arc of the year, grouped by what you are actually here for. The iPhone story from 16e and 16 Pro through iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 lineup. The Mac moment with MacBook Air M4. The iPads, from Air M3 to Pro M5. The stuff you wear, like AirPods Pro 3 and the Watch lineup decisions. And yes, the Vision Pro M5 chapter for the people who want to live in the future, even when it is a little weird.
Along the way we also hit the software swings and the Apple side quests: WWDC 2025, iOS 26, iPadOS 26, visionOS 26 and the 2.4 beta, Liquid Glass, the new Games app, the C1 modem story, and how Apple pulled off filming an F1 movie in real races. Use the chapters to navigate, and let me know which 2025 release aged best once the hype wore off.
