Overview

INFO
Apple Newsroom is Apple's PR site where the latest updates, press releases, and original stories are announced for the media. Elephant partnered with Apple to release the new redesign in 2020, and we have been iterating and launching new features ever since. I’ve been part of the team, helping to create more than 30 features and updates over the past four years.

Performance and accessibility are integral aspects of Newsroom. By working with Apple Standards, applying Apple’s Design System, and being AX compliant, Newsroom has received one of the best ratings from the Apple QA team. It is now the most efficient and accessible page on apple.com.
