Apple using moving letters as captcha

And the GIF I've got seem to has all the letters in the first frame anyway? What do they get by using animated GIF then?

At the risk of sounding snarky, it's form over function.

It is pretty snarky, considering this is a one-off use of a 3rd party captcha solution on a form only required for legal reasons for a time limited promotion.

I doubt the unique capture implementation was done for a one off limited time form, I would have thought that this is something Apple has cooked up for re-use across multiple projects and this just so happens to be one of the first.

The comment wasn't snarky, it was accurate.

I have far too many repeats when I ask for a new one, NTN, RNC, and SAZ, are three that stood out
