Google.com is not responsive
Amazon.com is not responsive
Twiiter.com is not responsive (and they invented Bootstrap!)Pretty sure if you go down the list of most visited sites you'll find that almost none of them are.
Bottom line, it's easy for a small company to launch a responsive redesign of their site, not so easy when you have a huge existing infrastructure to support and millions of visitors.
- lol. you what? they don't need to be because they are app driven on mobile. google works fine on mobile but on android its part of the osfadein11
- its part of the os. what are you bangin' on about?fadein11
- Same with Apple, they have a mobile app for their store.ukit2
- not the same at allfadein11
- Why not the same? All the big news sites...NYT, CNN, etc...also work that wayukit2
- not the same at all, if you access google.com from mobile, you go to mobile site, same with amazon and twitter, apple doesn't have a m siteGeorgesIV
- m site and it's so backward for a company like apple that I'm appaled of the # people trying to defend itGeorgesIV

That website is a beast, hundreds of pages... My guess it that the backend is controlled by an IT department with complicated cart systems and analytics tracking. Companies like this take forever to get a large project, like going responsive, off the ground.
- I thought that Apple of an efficient, thought and innovations leader?utopian
- I work for a large 'innovative tech leader' as well, so that guess came from my current experience.dirtydesign

If Apple had a responsive site, they might gain some mobile traffic and actually start selling some of their products. The fact that their store website is sub-par on the hundreds of millions of iOS devices out there should be motivation enough for them to go responsive get out of this terrible sales rut.
- Agreed dude! It wouldn't do them any harm at the very least.Hombre_Lobo

I think Apple and Google's motivation to push native platforms outweigh's the logic of having a solid site for mobile. This could also explain why we see so little innovation in mobile browsers from a usability standpoint.
- Being the envy of the entire retail universe outweighs Apple's need for a responsive site.monospaced
- google native platform? android? open source platform? wtf are you banging on about?fadein11
