Apple Remembers the Colorblind

I noticed a tiny change on the iPhone availability website. At first I was puzzled and then I remembered. Yesterday Apple had a red circle and a green circle to show availability. Today they updated the site with a tiny change:

The red circle was replaced with a red square. Users with color blindness have trouble seeing the differences between these colors so the shape helps.

One quick check is to print your designs in black and white and make sure they still make sense.
