Apple Introduces New Test Design for iCloud Website

[Apple_Robert]

Glad to see an update coming our way.

That profile picture in a skewed cloud detail is so early 00s and I love it. Like something from Windows xp

 

[bluecoast]

I like it.

It indicates a future for Apple that's more about widgets with useful info in them than app icons.

Something's wrong. This thread is too... positive. Do we actually all agree on something??

Glances at URL to make he’s on the right site … 👀

Wish we could get iMessage on iCloud as well.

I've been wanting this for years

Looks great, much clearer and modern.

I like it.

Tiles that change to show different information... It's almost like they're Live.

Just like Windows 8.

I’m liking this

Just like Windows 8.

Or at least like what Windows (8) could've turned into...

Wow, this looks really good! Hats off to the designers.

Who even goes here and why?

All the info is on your phone right?

Those who have a non-Apple laptop and those who have a bunch of photos they need to upload to iCloud (i.e. me).

I saw the thumbnail on Macrumors and went YUCK

The checked it out on the work laptop (where I use this page frequently) and went OH NICE! I enjoy being able to see a few tidbits of email and my other cloud apps.

 

[madebybela]

cute aesthetics at least. reminds me of OS X Tiger!

Nice UI update, faster response time, and customizable - I dig it, even if it screams like a 2003 start page.

EXCEPT that it needs Find My and Maps.

I wish they improve the drive part of it sometime. Option to pick and choose what can be in the iCloud (only) and what is mirrored to local drive. Also how about viewing files in the list mode.

 

[eyeseeyou]

I wish the mail and calendar modules could show non-IOS content like the apps. I use non-cloud emails and google calendars.

 

[trhoffmann]

I would use this redesigned site more than I use the current site. The design and utility is much more appealing.

 

[TinyMito]

It looks beautiful but... only use it if I don't have my Mac nearby lol or on Windows.

I wish they brought back syncing with Safari bookmarks, like they had back in the iTools days.

They do currently have that with iCloud.

In iTools, you could log into your account on any computer (Mac or PC) and open a browser window that had links to all your Safari bookmarks. That's what I wish they brought back

I was thinking this is a step in the right direction but I’m interested in actual functionality.

iCloud “services” are so far behind googles apps there’s no reason to access or view them through a web browser. The experience is so much better through an apple device and application vs a web browser. I can’t even copy and pasted correctly.

Aren’t there things you can do in the mail app on iCloud that you can’t do in the iOS app (like set up rules that move messages to certain folders)?

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. Wow, an Apple news story where the initial posts actually aren't a bunch of negative Nancies finding a way to dislike something.

It's also useful if you forget your phone, or the battery dies.

really nice, fast! needs dark mode and ability to customise background etc. but promising!
