Design documentation preview

Apple design system with product-gallery rhythm, SF Pro typography, and a single blue action color.

A Stripe v2.0 style documentation preview corrected for Apple: sticky black nav, frosted sub-nav behavior, alternating product tiles, white and parchment canvases, near-black ink, and no decorative gradients.

01 / Colors

White, parchment, near-black tiles, and one action blue.

Apple's palette is intentionally narrow. Surface alternation does the structural work, while #0066cc carries every interactive cue on light surfaces and #2997ff handles links on dark tiles.

02 / Typography

SF Pro hierarchy with tight display tracking.

The preview preserves Apple's documented type ladder: 56px hero display, 40px tile display, 17px body copy, 14px captions, and ultra-thin 12px global navigation labels.

03 / Buttons

Capsule actions, restrained utility controls, and blue links.

Apple's action grammar is simple: full-pill blue CTAs for conversion, blue outline pills for companion actions, small dark utility buttons in navigation, and circular translucent chips over photography.

Primary and secondary pills

The pill silhouette is the action signal. Active state scales to 0.95 instead of adding visual noise.

Utility and image controls

Small rectangular utilities stay near-invisible. Circular translucent chips float over photography.

04 / Cards and surfaces

Full-bleed product tiles plus quiet utility cards.

This section keeps the Stripe documentation-preview density while demonstrating Apple's actual surface system: rectangular edge-to-edge tiles and rounded store utility cards with hairline borders.

Store utility card

White, 18px radius, 1px hairline, product imagery carries the only depth.

Buy

Accessory grid card

Square 1:1 crop, centered product, quiet copy and price metadata.

Configurator card

Round chips inside a white grid surface with selection via focus blue border.

05 / Brand-specific product patterns

Navigation, configurators, gallery tiles, and environmental editorial surfaces.

Apple's brand feeling comes from repeated product page patterns rather than decoration: a black global nav, a frosted product sub-nav, large tile stacks, option chips, and a parchment footer.

Two-row navigation

Black global nav at 44px height, followed by a 52px frosted sub-nav with product name, links, and a persistent Buy CTA.

global-nav + sub-nav-frosted

Configurator option chips

Pill cells are large enough for touch, label, and price delta. Selected state uses a focus-blue 2px border.

Environment quote card

Dark photographic fallback surface, centered white display copy, blue action beneath. Atmosphere comes from content imagery, not CSS gradients.

Product gallery stack

Light tile, dark tile, parchment tile, dark tile. Color alternation is the separator; tiles do not need borders or rounded corners.

white -> #272729 -> #f5f5f7 -> #2a2a2c

06 / Forms

Search is the documented neutral form pattern.

Analyzed Apple pages surface a neutral pill search input rather than a broad enterprise form system. The preview includes the neutral state and focus behavior; validation states are intentionally not invented.

44px height, full-pill radius, white canvas, subtle hairline.
Same restrained construction for store utility capture.

07 / Spacing

Large tile air with compact utility internals.

The structural rhythm is 80px product-tile padding, 24px utility card padding, and 8px-based supporting increments. Product imagery is never crowded.

08 / Radius

Rectangular tiles, rounded cards, and full pills.

Apple uses a small set of shape grammars. Full-bleed product tiles have no radius. Store cards are 18px. CTAs, search inputs, and option chips are pills.

09 / Elevation

Flat UI, hairlines, backdrop blur, and one product shadow.

Cards, buttons, and chrome remain flat. Depth appears through surface alternation, frosted sticky bars, and the single shadow under product imagery.
