Apple Introduces New Test Design for iCloud Website

I do when I am using a Linux computer. I am liking what I see so far for the new iCloud design.
Product Theory here:
I think Apple is ramping up to launch iCloud for Work, a direct competitor to Google Workspace. The iCloud in Apple Business Essentials doesn't really do much right now, and this UI had way too much thought put into it for casual use. Not to mention Apple a while back introduced custom domain emails for iCloud which is not support in the ABE flavor of iCloud, hmmm. 🤔
I personally, can't wait.

Except they aren't - it's a picture of a mini app, but they have no functionality. Clicking them takes you to the typical iCloud app of each
If you click on a specific email, it takes you to the email.
I use it on my work PC multiple times a week to access my email, photo's and notes. I cannot and don't want to integrate iCloud services in outlook on my work PC, or integrate photo's into windows 10 file explorer (it's a pretty bad experience anyway).
Its for accessing icloud info when you are not on your personal apple device. I use it all the time at work.
sigh, I use it several times a week when I'm on my work PC, or on a library computer. I cannot, and wouldnt want to, integrate iCloud services on my windows 10 work computer.
I understand white space and the need for margins, but the single narrow column of tiles ****** blows on the iPad Mini
Yep! I use it to access my notes on my (Windows) work computers. This new update supports tags so this is huge for me since I use the notes app all the time and rely on tags quite a bit.
Customizing the home page is clunky!
Tiles flow like iOS widgets and when you add a new one, it adds it to the top right, reflowing all other tiles.
Also, only two tiles per row, and only in two sizes. One is small, one is large, and they alternate between rows.
Yuck.

That’s actually a great use case. Even on my work MacBook I don’t log into iCloud so a web browser would be a good approach although I did experience some weird copy-and-paste UX last time I tried that. IIRC the formatting options are also different in the web browser for notes.
Well it is a beta, it can and likely will improve.
I think so many people here have iPhones (including me), that we forget some of you don't and thus would have to use the web interface or carry an iPad or MacBook with you.
Very nice. Suggestions:
- Dark mode?
- iMessage
- Make modules resizable.
- Lose the WELCOME BACK splash; pointless. I know where I am, and it's a barrier between me and what I want.
- Would love for them to trash the silly Safari features ("check [x] to show this page's privacy features," (who cares) and have Safari Start look like this. Just add a search box.
