Apple's product page language is a luminous white gallery: every pixel of chrome is stripped away so the photographed product and one bold typographic statement own the screen. Headlines in SF Pro Display at 64–96px do nearly all of the work, set in near-black (#1d1d1f) with selectively tinted words — a green verb for one emotion, a blue verb for another — that turn the headline itself into a micro-product story. Surfaces are paper-flat: no shadows, no gradients, no decorative borders, only hairline rules and generous whitespace. Interaction is reduced to two button archetypes — a blue pill (#0071e3) for the purchase moment and a subtle neutral pill (#e2e2e5) for everything else — surrounded by a sea of 28px-rounded cards that float on a #f5f5f7 canvas. The whole system is engineered to feel weightless, confident, and barely-designed: the brand is the product, and the design system is the silence around it.

Nav borders, link underlines, secondary text in dense lists
Secondary nav borders, list dividers, subdued UI metadata
List row backgrounds, hairline separators in data-dense sections
