Apple pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the homepage of its website after the longest-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom passed away peacefully on September 8.
The iPhone maker has filled its main website with a photo of Queen Elizabeth II as the renowned tech giant honors the passing of the Queen of England.
Apple Pays Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II
As per a news story by Apple Insider, the Cupertino-based tech giant made an update on its main website as it remembers the Queen on her day of passing.
The homepage of Apple now showcases a photo of none other than the longest-serving monarch of the UK. It comes with a brief message saying, "In Memoriam, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II."
Elsewhere, no less than the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the iPhone maker, Tim Cook, also honored the Queen, who reigned for 70 years.
The big boss of Apple says in his recent tweet that "there is nothing more noble than to devote your life to the service of others."
On top of that, Apple Insider reports that the chief executive went on to express his condolences to the people of the UK, as well as the Commonwealth, wishing the Queen to "rest in peace."
The tribute of Apple to the Queen features a photo of her Majesty that Dorothy Wilding took way back in February 1952, the same year when Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne - roughly 70 years have already passed.
Apple Homepage Removes Newly Launch Products
It is worth noting that the tech giant just introduced its new set of products a day before the peaceful passing of the Queen.
However, the updated website of the Cupertino giant no longer includes the newly-launched products of Apple, such as the iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8, and AirPods Pro 2, according to a report by 9to5 Mac.
But now, the tribute of Apple to the Queen replaces all these next-generation products. With that, the latest iPhone lineup, alongside the new Apple Watch and AirPods, are nowhere to be found on its homepage.
9to5 Mac also highlighted in its report that the renowned tech behemoth is fond of honoring prominent personalities on its homepage. Previous tributes on the Apple website honored Nelson Mandela and its co-founder and CEO, Steve Jobs.
