Why React Native Is Still the Best Choice in 2025

When Apple shipped the Liquid Glass redesign, React Native apps picked it up just by recompiling with Xcode 26. Flutter has to redraw all of it by hand. That difference, staying close to native primitives, is the core of why I'm more bullish on React Native in 2025 than ever, and I make the full case in the video.

What's inside

• Why native primitives mean your app inherits platform updates for free
• Native tabs in alpha through React Native Screens, with Expo Router support coming
• react-native-ai, my Expo Modules package for Apple's on-device LLMs in iOS 26
• Expo, Shopify, and Meta investing heavily in native implementations
• Over-the-air updates with EAS Update, no app store review needed
• AI tools and no-code builders betting on React Native and Expo
