Online Apple Store gets facelift

Apple StoreReader Shawn tipped us to the fact that the online Apple Store was down last night. As we all know, that doesn’t necessarily herald major product changes, but in this case, there were a couple of alterations made. For one thing, the 4GB iPhone is no longer available (rest in peace, li’l buddy). But, for another, the store itself has undergone some cosmetic changes.

The flat gray color scheme has been largely replaced with blue gradient headers; the top now features a header that’s reminiscent of the iTunes Store and the rest of Apple’s site. The sidebars for the store have been reorganized and cleaned up a bit, making it (hopefully) easier to find what you’re looking for. A couple of other sections have been added as well, including a “Staff Picks” section.

Overall, it might not be much more than a prettying-up, but as the old design was getting a bit long in the tooth, it’s nice to see it meshing more with the rest of Apple’s site design. Plus, who doesn’t like blue?

Cool. Even the international stores have changed (although I only really checked Canada's page).
