As fate rightly pointed out there is some serious misunderstandings of responsive web design and development in this thread.
But ultimately you would think that the company that pushes mobile devices and who has arguably had more impact on that market than any other company, would have a website that is mobile friendly.
Not to mention how apple are all meant to be about user friendly and usability. A full desktop site on a mobile phone is in no way the most user friendly experience.
There is a reason there is a huge mobile first responsive movement in web dev and design, because its incredibly effective.
Apple probably couldn't give a crap, they are too busy raking it in from the app store and have other priorities. But making a new responsive site would certainly be beneficial.
GENERIC LOOKING:
Sure a lot of responsive sites look the same, but that's kind of a pointless argument. You see loads of sites that are just another super generic responsive twitter bootstrap or foundation clone.But to dismiss responsive mobile first web design because a lot of people have been unimaginitive in the design and implementation of websites, is just plain stupid.
It's like seeing loads of ugly jpegs and thinking "fuck jpegs". Or seeing JavaScript used for the same thing on every site and thinking "fuck JavaScript".
