Nope. It was an intentional decision. It's been like that ever since Apple Music was announced.

Yes, and no. I'm still hating on ESPN's web site redesign - Apple's redesign has nothing on Disney's "other" company web site... If you ever get to the bottom of ESPN's home page, let me know?
It happened so gradually that I almost didn't notice it, but Apple's website looks really really beautiful lately. The animations, the typography, the resolution independent layout. just perfect. Very unlike anything else you see on other company websites.
I am not a huge fan of most things Apple is doing lately but I must say I like this change. I remember when checking out products and comparing them I often switched back and forth between product pages (e.g. from apple.com/iphone) and the store page of this product. Because some information was here others there… Great clean up!
looks terrific , easy to navigate unless your a 5yo who wants to bitch about every little thing Apple do.
To get to the Refurbished Products section, just scroll down to the bottom of the home page and click on 'Refurbished' button under 'Apple Store'. At least this one is still easy to find. This section is where I do most of my shopping anyway.
And there goes my computer monitor to be the apple store app on the iPad...
General search doesn't work for the Swedish store either but that I think is bug as it switches to the store at the us store. I don't consider the yahoo style a search as too many things will be hidden and you have to guess where Apple put something with that.
Where is Apple's programs? Logic Pro? No, I don't want Apple music!!
Well it's pretty. Good luck and hope it works.
But bottom line, this will make it less likely that my parents will use the apple store instead of some other web store that actually is a store for finding and purchasing what you want and can find for their apple products. This is a big display window not a store.

I would argue it's actually easier to now get to the refurbished items page. One click from home page, albeit a small link on the footer
In the Mac App Store where it's been since 2013.Where is Apple's programs? Logic Pro? No, I don't want Apple music!!
You don't have to, but it turns out that's the quickest way to find anything on the site now.
the iPod is about music it should be a iPod+Music like iPod+iTunes in the old days
Good point. I suspect when I actually want to buy something, I'll still hit the footers.
Apples PRO programs have been there in the Mac app store to buy but Apple have always had them on their website easy to find for prospective users, now all PRO programs are hidden as if they don't care for them. The Mac app store is only for OS X users not prospective OS X users.
