Apple’s product pages are pretty cool and definitely clean in terms of visual assets and copy, but the usability is brutal.

Seems like it started with the AirPods page and will likely continue.

Would much rather have a page that is as clean but less scroll effects.




>Seems like it started with the AirPods page and will likely continue.

No it started with TrashCan Mac Pro, and then stopped for a while and it came back to AirPod.

The whole page is Janky, not smooth, and painful trying to consume information out to it. Although it must admit this is better than AirPod Page, and it is also better than Mac Pro. So improvement are being made, but it is too slow.


It’s completely broken. You can’t even select text.

Might as well just make it one long-ass video.


I can select text on Firefox. I also really enjoy the scrolling effects, I think the experience is really high quality.


>I think the experience is really high quality.

Wow.

I never even thought about it being possible - you know, calling site that doesn't seem to be different than others "high quality".

Maybe I'm not noticing something here?


The desktop experience has a lot of nice scrolling animations you don’t see everywhere, especially the Pro page.

It’s not completely different from other sites, it’s just very well executed. High quality.
