Considering this is Apple, I'm surprised how bad the UX of the cards+slider is.

At least on desktop the country cards have a delayed animation and feels super unresponsive.

The narrative that Apple is the bastion of good UX has sailed quite a while ago given their regressions with MacOS 10.14-10.15 bugs, iOS 13 bugs requiring major reOrgs, iPhone Battery-oriented CPU throttling with no user affordance, etc.

Also their web design has been accessibility-hostile often enough with the landing pages of Trashcan Mac Pro, iPhone 12 etc all taking over your scroll…

On an iPhone it took me a hell of a long time to swipe over to the US, we are talking minutes with all the miss swipes which accidentally forwarded me to other pages etc. for such a UI/UX focused company that seems fishy

Surprisingly it only takes a second on Droid.. But it wouldn't surprise me that they intentionally did it this way in order to discourage people to scroll to the numbers that hurt the most.

That’s a really ameri-centric way of looking at things. “Only the US numbers hurt [because I’m in the US and only US people matter].
