I just end up immediately closing these sites that don't work at all reasonably with a scroll wheel.

Me too! No clue why they keep doing that!

  I tried the site on macbook touchpad and iPhone X, works _very_ well. Maybe the directly targeted audience use one of these? I have no interest in AirPods but I think the page is super nicely done. Not something I'd like for every product I look at ever, but as a sort of unveiling I think is is nicer than a spec sheet.

    Yeah I'm sure it's lovely with a touchpad or touchscreen! I can't say I'm a huge fan of that style even with those input devices, but I can appreciate what they're going for. I just wish a little attention was paid when other input devices are being used.

I'm using a Macboook touchpad and still couldn't get past the first few slides. Scrolling felt horribly unnatural with all the jumping images.

Normally I roll my eyes at these types of comments but you are totally justified. I'm in front of a desktop using a mouse and am getting scroll fatigue just trying to get to about the 1/2 way point of the web page. Literally scrolling through individual video frames is moronic. Edit - Just noticed that the animated scroll-breaking stuff seemed to stop when using a mobile view (noticed using Chrome Dev tools) which makes it a better read.

  Yeah I hate being "that guy", but I just couldn't make any progress on the site.

    I was graphic designer (now developer) so I tend to give websites a lot of "artistic freedom" as long as it doesn't interfere a great deal with user-friendliness. Your comment was completely justified in this regard. This particular page when not viewed on a mobile device is painful and should be mentioned.

I was confused when I read this, I think they changed the top link because when I clicked it took me to the press release page which is fine: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/10/apple-reveals-new-airpods-pro-available-october-30/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/10/apple-reveals-new-air...
