... and it doesn't work quite right on the iPad. There is a hovering menu bar which is fully blank. I'm surprised they didn't test the site on the iPad before pushing it live.

- dmcg 16y agoSame here - that is quite a fail.
- arn 16y agoit's just a caching issue - just reload the page, and it works.
- wkornewald 16y agoThat's what asset versioning is for. I can't believe they don't concatenate their assets. Even their versioned PNG files use Etags... With proper caching and other optimizations they could probably get their site load times down to maybe 300ms (almost instantly) instead of 1.8s and at the same time fix such caching problems.
- smackfu 16y agoHow elegant.
- Stormbringer 16y agoApple's website has a long history of being superficially pretty, but seriously lacking when it comes to any form of professional usability. To wit, it is typical of over-designed sites in that it is fragile when people use it at different resolutions, on different browsers or in different countries (e.g. when the iPhone came out, or rather didn't come out different international versions of the page had rendering issues because the big chunk of space for the iPhone wasn't there, and all of a sudden all the pretty little lines didn't line up. Then there's the way they were so fond of grey-on-grey text - who's idea of usability is that? Put your hands up so you can be slapped. Repeat after me: "contrast is good, m'kay?".
- thomasfl 16y agoStrangely enough, Apple's site is not particularly well suited for either iPhones or iPads.
- imsky 16y agoThe new iPad's coming out any day now to address this pressing concern.
- brk 16y agoProbably because they have the Apple Store app for the iPad. However, the Apple Store app does not have all the configuration options for hardware that you get on the real site, as one example.
