On Thursday afternoon, Apple changed the homepage of its U.S. website to pay tribute to “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II”, sharing a picture taken by Dorothy Wilding back on February 26, 1952, and from the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Apple has yet to make a similar tribute to The Queen on its Canadian website, with Canada being a former Commonwealth nation, unlike the United States. That may change later at some point, but for now, rest in peace to The Queen.
Update Sept. 8, 6:25pm PT: Apple.ca now pays tribute to The Queen as well.

Never been a “Monarchy” guy but the lady did carry herself well.
Canada is a commonwealth nation.
