Although Apple usually takes great care in the design of its interfaces (aside from some visual assaults when it fell into the most resistant skeuomorphism), even the best designs will become obsolete over time, and will begin to show some wear and tear over time before even reaching this point. Personal perception is added here, variable in any case, and fashion trends, which are increasingly global even in the technological field.

So, back when the design of the iCloud interface was fine, it fit in with the company’s general design proposition, but over the years it’s, shall we say, worn. It’s not a major design issue because of such a minimalistic design (it only has icons to access the included services), but for those of us who have been using it for years, it’s true that It is already a very popular designand a new one Home offering something different would be appreciated.

And the good news is that it will be an imminent reality. So when we access the service, we will see an indication at the top that informs us about it The design of the iCloud web interface is about to change. And in case we are curious and don’t want to wait, even more so given that the date when the change will take place is not yet known, Apple offers us the possibility of access now, currently in beta mode, and if we want, donate ours feedback with regard to.

And yes, a significant change awaits us. If you’re not familiar with it, launching iCloud via the web currently looks like this:

And this is the beta version of another design of this web interface:

As you can see, the new iCloud web interface is still pretty clean, which is a key element of Apple’s design philosophy. but now it offers more information, more shortcuts and in addition, it allows you to modify its design, to choose both the elements that we want to display there and their location.

At the moment, there aren’t many modules that we can add to this new iCloud home page, but its modular design recalls the company’s ill-fated design tile Windows 8 and more interestingly, it opens the door to a possible integration that would be more than interesting, which is the display of widgets of some iOS, ipadOS and macOS applications that already exist on the user’s devices. man. It’s just wishful thinking, but it would be the perfect step to turn the iCloud web interface into an extremely useful tool.
