Newly released Apple Developer videos on YouTube are a treasure trove of design insights

Every June, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) provides app developers and UI and UX designers with a glimpse into the Cupertino tech giant's newest software and hardware innovations, as well as tips and insights on Apple's design vision in general. And if you weren't there, there's now a chance to catch up on those year's worth of knowledge (see our live reporting from WWDC 2024)

Past WWDC sessions were previously only available on Apple's own Developer website and app. But the company has now started to upload a whole batch of WWDC sessions to YouTube, creating a free, instant-access repository for developers and designers around the world, and not only those working in the Apple ecosystem. Meanwhile, if you're looking for Apple discounts, don't miss our guide to the best Apple Prime Day deals.
