Some people may use it, and some people don't. But it's an integral part of Apple.
The iCloud.com website is where Apple users sync their data to the cloud, including mail, contacts, calendars, photos, notes and files, to collaborate on documents, backup an iPhone or iPad, and track lost Apple devices.
The cloud service is built into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, and can also be downloaded on other platforms.
The iCloud.com site is particularly useful for users who wish to quickly access some of the apps or services that are otherwise on their Mac, iPhone or iPad, particularly if they're on a computer they don't own or are using a PC.
And here, Apple has given it a significant design update.
Following a few weeks of beta testing, the iCloud website for the web has been tweaked to include a colorful wallpaper with tiles for users' Apple ID account and Apple apps like Photos, Mail, iCloud Drive, Calendar, and Notes.
There is also a tile with icons for additional apps like Find My, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and more.
The widget-like tiles replace the old, stale-looking iCloud homepage where there were just icons for those apps.
But what makes it unique, is the way it allows customization.
The redesign website allows users to choose which apps appear in each tile or remove a tile entirely.
The design update doesn't stop there.
At the top menu bar, users can click or tap on the plus sign to create a new email, note, calendar event, and more. The menu also provides access to settings for iCloud+ features such as Hide My Email, iCloud Private Relay, and HomeKit Secure Video.
Then, at the bottom of the page, the website displays users' iCloud storage plan and usage, as well as a link to recover their recently deleted files from iCloud Drive and other apps.
All in all, the redesigned iCloud.com page provides a a much streamlined experience that should make the service easier to view information at a glance.
What's more, the design provides users the option to see what they care the most, front-and-center.
While the appearance is indeed new, there is no groundbreaking new features whatsoever.
Like with most iOS widgets, users should still have to jump into the respective web apps if they want to do anything.
The iCloud versions of apps like Pages and Numbers get updated at their own cadence, but mostly feel the same as they did before the design update.
iCloud on the web has always seemed to be an afterthought for Apple, as the company tends to focus more on building out iCloud features for its devices.
But with the update, Apple is making iCloud for the web appeal to anyone who regularly has to use iCloud on the web to access some of the apps, because with the design update, the experience feels a bit nicer.
That being said, it's a welcome redesign that repositions iCloud.com as a full part of the Apple experience across users' devices.
