Apple Celebrates the World Cup Final with Apple․com Overhaul


Apple’s homepage in France now plays a short 3-second video featuring floating soccer balls and the French flag. Once the video has played once, the regular Apple homepage appears in seamless fashion.

Apple rarely overhauls its homepage, so it’s clear the company is excited about this big World Cup final. In the past, the Apple․com homepage has been overhauled following the death of Steve Jobs, the Shot on iPhone ad campaign, Global Accessibility Awareness Day, and more.

It added special World Cup features to Siri and Apple News, launched a new ‘Behind the Mac’ campaign, and released a trio of soccer-themed ‘Shot on iPhone’ ads last week. It has also dominated photo opportunities thanks to a prolific number of players wearing AirPods while in transit.
