Well, one thing you are missing out on is most all of the support information, which doesn't seem to be on the store app. And the store app has way, way less information in it than apple.com does. The store app and apple.com are not really comparable, I don't think. But in a way, that's all kind of beside the point.
My point is, they've made billions on the iPhone. They put mobile web browsing on the map. Shouldn't the inventor of the iPhone have a website that is usable, and legible, on an iPhone?
I mean, it doesn't have to be responsive, per se. But, you know, the letters shouldn't just disappear into miniscule dots, and you shouldn't hit 4 buttons on the nav bar when you use it on a phone.
And, you know, the idea that Apple is lazy, and just can't be bothered seems odd to me. They put enormous amounts of effort into the tiny details of their products, and product presentation, and user experience, and design, and making things look good.
So, to me, it's obvious that they have chosen to do that. It's a deliberate decision. But why? What is the rationale? To impress Jodie Foster? To make it impossible for people to read the site while riding the bus?
I don't get it.
It seems a bit like going into the General Electric plant and finding everything lit by candle...
