Apple Launches Revamped iCloud.com Website With All-New Design

[code-m]

Yeah I wonder why people don’t feel thankful when the service has improved from F to C.

iCloud.com is an afterthought as most people don’t login or know it’s a thing unless informed. Most of my friends who have iOS and Mac devices don’t know its there or cannot be bothered to use it as its not the way people interact or view a purchased device.

Actually I have used it no more than 5 times and I am well aware its there but have no need or use for it and I have been an Apple customer prior to iCloud.com 😝

This is very handy when I’m on my work computer.

When using for the first time the default Home Screen shows your pinned or recent notes, might be a problem or not. I quit using iCloud.com long ago, this is a very nice upgrade.

Dark mode, the ultimate lipstick on a pig

Not for me, I dislike bright light colour screen we design, apps, web pages etc. Brightness on all my devices is one notch above total darkness and at times use reduce white point.

The new iCloud.com should have a setup step-by-step screen similar to setting up a new device. Apple is slipping in its attention to details.

I'm just here to see how people turn a positive, great change, into something negative 🍿

Wonder if the Goth Kids on MacRumors get prizes for the number of negative posts weekly 🙂

We’ll make up your mind, is it revamped or all-new design?

A link to apple news is now gone...sigh

The changes are great but the threads are sorted in the wrong order when you click on the un-expanded thread. Different than the app on the Mac. So this is annoying.

On the whole, a very nice upgrade! Checked it out on the beta page a week or two ago, and it was great to see iCloud's web interface being modernised and brought up to speed with other  web pages/services.

But Apple still haven't fixed the UI issue around moving from week-to-week or month-to-month in iCloud.com Calendar. The arrows are not fixed position – they move to accommodate the width of the date information inside them. This makes it more difficult than it should be to quickly move the displayed time period forward or backward.

It still reminds me of start pages in Year 2003.

Nah I don’t communicate with her unless its some emergency and he has not responded plus they are in another country 😝 And no his wife is not my type 😂

Yea, but maybe you're her type ))

Yeah, Photos could be a liability too, depending 😱

My default first time page only had Notes and Emails displayed, but yeah...

It looks pretty good, but is there seriously no way to view iCloud Drive files in a list mode? I couldn't find one anyway. Hopefully it will get added soon as it seems like an oversight or maybe just not completed before launch.

New shade of lipstick.

I went to notes and tried to paste an image into a note. Not happening. OneNote on the Web, all day long. Webmail is still a featureless and so weak compared to Outlook.com or Gmail.

I love Apple but you can count on somethings just being very bad, like iCloud.com, Safari, mail.app on the Mac and Notes.

Could anyone else check if this is just me or…

Lowercase h does not type correctly in Notes on the new iCloud site? (Uppercase is fine).

It appears correctly on my Mac and iPhone, but not on the site…

On my Mac:

On the iCloud website:

Even the sign-in display is different now!

Apple cant allow messages over the web. It would give people a way to leave iPhone for Android.

This. I would leave instantly, but more than that, I would ditch smartphones completely and go to a stick phone. I am so over them. They've turned everyone into zombies. Living dead.

 

[Kierkegaarden]

Wow — looks great! Feels like a native mobile experience on the web.

 

[Kierkegaarden]

This design makes me think that maybe the web isn’t dead.

No issues for me. I tried in Safari and Firefox on Windows.

 

[sracer]

I like the redesign. It works very well on my chromebooks and feels like it is more integrated... especially when putting it into fullscreen.

 

[JGIGS]

It looks very nice. Would like to see sync of Messages app on iCloud.com!

Yup, without that I have very little interest in iCloud.com tbh.

No, just for real men, better than a Care Bears styled site.

Btw. found an iPadOS 17 leak... are they shifting their CI?

next change to iCloud should be to increase the upper tier of storage, 2tb is too small and stacking 4tb does not work for those with 2 x legacy Apple ids.
