Eagle-eyed Apple fans got a little treat Tuesday — and we do mean little, so don't get too excited.

That brings the site in line with the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Apple TV and Mac devices, which all use the proprietary typeface.
The difference is fairly striking if you know to look for it. Compared to Myriad, San Francisco appears bolder and more legible — all the better to call attention to the fact that you can purchase a new iPhone:
If you'd really like to take a deep dive, Apple gave a 32-minute presentation about San Francisco at its Worldwide Developers Conference in 2015, just before the font made its iPhone debut with iOS 9.
The font comes in two flavors — normal San Francisco and a "Compact" variant for Apple Watch — with the major distinction between the two being how rounded the letters are.

If you open Apple.com in a browser and mess with the size of your window, you can see the font shift dynamically — which we're sure is a great use of your time this morning. Enjoy!
