Who designed this site? Readability is very poor. 8px font size for the 'pre-order' button, really?

And the contrast ratio is pretty low too.

Please, don't hire designers who just care about the graphic design aspect and making it look beautiful, but a pain to use, i.e. totally neglect usability.

I don't doubt that the phone is going to be a physical implementation of the site's aesthetic, so it will be beautifully unuseable
Probably someone with a 4k or very high pixel density monitor
I'm using a 27" 4K monitor. I can't read anything on that site.
