Apple Online Store Down with New Look

[mertkutluk]

I'm pretty sure that apple store gets more hits when it is closed.

Hooray, more gray! Just when you thought you couldn't get enough and wanted more!

I don't like the linen look. Gamercenter, mission control, notification center. It looks bleh. Anyone agree?

I'm sure it's probably just late night maintenance but the small hopeful part of me says it's new MBPs.

 

[knifeyspooney]

Please, oh please be an updated 15" MBP. I really need an upgrade.

I doubt it would be a silent update if they were updating the MPS with a new case design

The changes have broken this page, I think: http://www.isapplestoredown.com/

Says apple store is up when it's down.

Maybe they're not redesigning the MBP and just adding a 15" to the MacBook air line when those get refreshed in the summer?

It is tuesday...

It was a poor attempt of sarcasm.

Based on that users previous post of:

By the way, bought 4 iPad 3s... one is what I would describe as "pleasantly warm'. I actually like the tone. The other three are extremely piss yellow. I have a genius bar appointment for later today.

I really am inclined to think that they're serious...

It took about 30 seconds for that new "closed" sign to load. They need to allocate some more servers/bandwidth for when the store goes down.

I couldn't help thinking...

Does anyone know how long that sticky has been around? I can't even remember it ever being anything else. I used to love that picture as it meant new stuff was coming, so many good times.

I'm sure going to miss you sticky!

 

[waloshin]

Or the even better version I am seeing now:

 

[denaliOnDubs]

Please let it be the 15" slimmer mac book pro !!

Yes please.

I'm pretty sure it never was anything else.

 

[Peace]

I'm pretty sure it never was anything else.

So that is a new "update".Wow.

IT'S BLOWING MY MIND MAN !! IT'S BLOWING MY MIND !!................

 

[Mikey7c8]

au store is actually broken

but view source shows it attempting to show the image mentioned

 

[tomsamson]

Not sure if they already got the new macbooks ready since all rumors point to that taking a bit longer, maybe a new mac pro? But yeah, maybe also just standard maintenance.
And while one could discuss if we don´t already have more than enough linen usage i think the new busy page at least highlights one thing for sure:
That Apple is working on making all their stuff retina displays optimized one by one, store being on the agenda now seemingly. I mean look at the dimensions of that we're busy image =)

 

[kalsta]

That iOS design is spreading like a cancer.

It's nothing compared to the brushed aluminium outbreak of 99.

 

[shartypants]

I like the old one better. The new one looks like a paper coaster.

 

[Fandongo]

I rarely say this but new Mac Pros tomorrow. The stars are in conjunction for it to happen.

I wish, but I'll wager the Mac Pros update on May 23rd.
666 days since the update.

 

[Jaro65]

New MBPs, anyone? They'll come...one day. As they always do.
