What the hell is this? After some thinking I realised it must be a date, 2018-02-09, but this is not clear. Do they think it looks cool or something?
- BillinghamJ 9y agoI think that’s more standard in the US, but sure looks weird to me.
- tabs_masterrace 9y agoIts a date? What else would follow after the words "Available starting", month is first since it's US locale. Whats so confusing about it.
- duiker101 9y agoThat it's not obvious. It's not a standard format and a lot of people will be slightly confused. It's understandable if you think about it but still not something everyone will get at first glance. Also the fact that it's localised to US only but both digits could be a day or a month will be even more confusing. Just adding a .18 or even better making it 2.09.18 would have made things easier and I can't believe that it would have hurt the page design that hard.
- imran3740 9y agoOr just, you know, February 9.
- bringtheaction 9y agoI thought the US used slash. I mean it's usually 9/11, not 9.11.
- Larrikin 9y agoSlash is for official forms, period is pretty common stylistically

- hacker_user 9y agoJust what I thought. It's really annoying. Or maybe some hint of sorts, who knows ;)
- Daniel_sk 9y agoAgreed, that looks very weird for an non-US.
- agildehaus 9y agoTook courage to format it that way.
- Smaug123 9y agoIndeed; if you go to the UK-specific site, https://ssl.apple.com/uk/homepod/ https://ssl.apple.com/uk/homepod/, it is formatted as "09.02".
