Two reveals,
one engine.

The Apple AirPods Pro lightpass and the AirPods 4 wearability rotation, painted to canvas as you scroll. 276 frames between them.

Keep scrolling — the animation is your input

The scene below is pinned to your viewport for 5 screen-heights of scroll. Frames advance with your scroll position; reverse it and the animation reverses. Pause and the frame stays.

01 · Lightpass entry

First frames bring the AirPods into existence. Each lightpass-style frame is a baked render with motion blur already in the pixel data — that's why scrubbing feels expensive even though it's just JPEGs.

02 · Reveal arc

Mid-sequence, the case opens and the buds rotate. We're at frame ~50 now. If you scroll back, the same frames are reused from cache instantly.

03 · Inspection pose

Around frame 90 the camera holds long enough for marketing copy. Apple usually parks annotations here in the real product page.

04 · Settle

The last frames lock the product in its hero pose. Once you exit this section the canvas is unpinned and normal layout resumes.

That was 147 individual JPEGs (~6.5 MB total) painted to a single canvas as your scroll position changed. No video element, no codec.

Wearability

Redesigned for comfort.
How fitting.

AirPods 4 provide exceptional fit, all-day comfort, and greater stability with your every move. Scroll to walk the full 360°.

01 · feature

All-day comfort

A redesigned contour follows the curvature of your ear. The result: lighter pressure points and a fit that disappears after a minute.

02 · feature

Stable through every move

The bud's centre of gravity sits closer to the ear canal so it stays put through workouts, walks, and long-haul travel days.

03 · feature

Acoustic mesh, refined

A precision-machined microphone port cuts wind noise without hardening the visual silhouette. Comfort and clarity, same surface.

04 · feature

One bud. Endless geometry.

Three years of head scans went into a shape that fits more ears than any AirPods before it. Your scroll just walked the full rotation.

Every frame above is one JPEG. Apple uses a single MP4 served as a blob URL; we use 129 individually-cached image fetches that scrub forward and backward instantly. Same end result — your scroll wheel rotates an industrial design 360°.
