I absolutely love this, but I hate websites like this so much, especially on mobile. I’m haphazardly scrolling hitting breakpoints trying to get to content that either lags well behind my gestures to animate a device spinning around, or zips past everything I wanted to actually read. If you want to show a video, please just show a video.

It's funny, you can basically play back the first animation in dev tools by just scrolling through all the media requests. Each frame of the animation is a separate PNG.

You’re in luck because it does and that’s exactly how my daughter uses it at school.

Is that a workaround for the increasing number of “no phone” policies?

More of an attempt to give a kid a communication device that doesn’t make it too easy and pleasant to be distracted from real life.

This website is impressive. It's almost more apple than apple. Are pages like this typically "storyboarded", then designed in framer (or another tool) and from there the code is generated, or how does it work? People do amazing things with pure CSS, but this seems beyond what is sensible without some sort of tool to make the job a bit easier.

I strongly disagree. It doesn't render correctly on FireFox on my Mac. And while those animated pages might look cool, they are very bad on giving you information. The product looks really cool, but as a Apple Watch owner I would really like to know what exactly it does and how.

I'm hoping that Apple releases a new mini on a 3 year cadence. Maybe there wasn't enough demand to continue the line every year, but they'll bring it back occasionally?

Agreed. The moment the iPhone mini comes back, I am buying one straight away

same, but they'll ruin it by putting a stove in the back.. iPhone 5 still is the perfect form factor for a phone, at least for me

It does exactly what your watch does now. It merely provides a way to interact with the watch in a similar way to the original iPod. Many people have their own personal reasons why they might enjoy this.

Cancers are serious conditions that are the cause of 25%-30% of all deaths. 1 in 2 people will have a form of cancer in their lifetimes. Cancers can have devastating long-term consequences beyond the illness itself, even if you survive. Treatment, recovery and sometimes remission is physically and mentally damaging. But perhaps I'm the one who is wrong. Please, explain what you meant exactly so I can understand your…

I am not the OP, but "cancer" is used as, and I quote, "(figuratively) Something damaging that spreads throughout something else". In that sense, the commenter could be implying, for example, that Apple products damage the electronic gadgets industry with their closed and anticompetitive policies, spreading silently (because users buy more of them to use the whole ecosystem).

That, and cause some hard to repair changes to people's understanding and evaluation of hardware and software.

Now that I've finally mastered replacing Apple Watch batteries (and replacing one incredibly small battery connector I managed to lift off the board), I asked my son just this morning what we do with the three outdated models we have lying around (we "abandoned" the watches when the batteries wouldn't last even 1/2 a day). This looks like a great solution to repurposing our old watches.

Do you have any guides for that? I'd like to try my hand at it.
