Apple is famous for its attention to detail, so it’s no surprise to us that a lot of effort has gone into the iCloud error pages to ensure they’re not your typical mundane error pages.
Recognize that face from anywhere?

They most definitely outclass the 404 pages of yesteryear, that’s for sure! Besides that, they actually take the time to explain why they failed. I’m giving Apple a big thumbs up for this one…

I was thinking everything had been done with the cloud cliche but it seems their is still room if you give it some thought.
The nose is a dead giveaway :-)
Interesting that the “browser not supported” page omits Chrome.
Good looking high detailed images. Only Apple can provide us with such awesome things.

Don’t you mean the nose is a dead giveaway…. :¬)
From the pictures, it seems like iCloud doesn’t (and probably will not) support Google Chrome. Well this stinks.
I noticed that as well – damn them!
It should support… Both Safari and Chrome are Webkit-based browsers so there are no big differences between both!
No Chrome? D: I guess I could live with Safari, it’s alright. Although it is quite a bit slower. IE, meh, it’s OK, at least IE 9 looks vaguely nice. And I’ve never really like Firefox.

No Opera either. Not much of a surprise to see them not list the ‘other browsers.’
Chrome sucks anyway. No benefit over Safari. Only reason I use it is because it has Flash.. on the rare occasion when I need Flash for anything.

It’s BETA!
Surprised that the list includes IE, and somewhat Firefox.
Just tried it in Chrome. The login page displays fine – no error messages or visual glitches. I don’t have a developer account, so I can’t go any further.
I think they just don’t want to actively suggest that folks should use Chrome.

Yeah seems to be a weird one, especially considering that Chrome should render as bear as damn it, the same as Safari. Another sign of the Google/Apple rift? I hope not, I want both to play nice and get along so they can provide what they are good at.
Also I use Chrome so hope it will work with the new features.
