Probably not, it normally comes back with the new products listed with "pre-ordering starts on XXXX"

See there's this – which is all well and good – but then there's Apple's RDF (admittedly weakened since SJ) which alters rational thinking when the new hotness is introduced.
Ack. Haven’t been tracking this, will have to research. Have you tried obvious stuff like rebuilding the initial scans?
no they also do that to publish upcoming product information and the „NEW“ tag, very important 😉
There is no reality distortion field anymore. That magic of the keynote is gone. I do like how they have new people in the keynotes often, some of them are better than others, but it keeps them fresh. I'd be happy if they cut down the length on them all to under 30 minutes though. In the days of 30 second TikToks, 2 hours for a WWDC keynote is just too long.
I have a new Air as well. The TouchID just seems slow and unreliable. I am not a fan.
the last couple of years they have had NON-iPhone related products up for sale after this event, including in the last two years the Apple Watch went up for immediate order. The iPhone has ALWAYS had a delayed announced preorder time the Friday morning following the event, so I doubt iPhones will go up for sale today.
Have to rebuild the scans for the touch ID almost every time I use the iPad. It's annoying to the point where I just defer to my mini 5, or even my still great recently revived Air 2.
Honestly surprised they didn’t have card readers in the backs of chairs at MWSF/MWNY, so people could preorder while still under the effects of RDF.
Yikes! I guess that’s why there’s supposedly no use of this feature on the iPhone.
I find it really annoying to use and just end up typing in my passcode most of the time. It's in an awkward spot on the iPad itself, and it.....just......doesn't......work. Maybe I have dry skin, or whatever, but it's just not as good as the old school touch ID.
That’s a bummer. Whenever I use my iPad mini 5, I am reminded why I like Touch ID over Face ID.
Lets hope iphone 13 pro is something to be hyped about max will prob demand a handbag to carry as usual 
I think that the secondary reason is to prevent mistakes by those in charge of the store. It’s not unheard of that a web page is released before the product announcement by mistake. Even if on for just a few seconds, with all the eyes looking at the store, the leak would spread quickly.

Haha, it’s 5:54 AM here in Las Vegas. I do need to get my beauty sleep.
Oh shoot! Store is down already?

The last few years weren't instant buys for me (but yeah I ended up upgrading within a month or two in each case).
But this year, finally with a 120Hz Promotion display on the regular pro? Sign me up. Give it an always on display and I'll be in heaven.

I honestly think that MR should do a "live pre-announcement podcast", on the lines of pre-game shows. It would be entertaining.
As expected. Looking forward to seeing the new additions to the Apple store when it is back up.
As others have said main products like the iPhone and Apple Watch are likely to be open for orders on Friday. Usually Apple updates the store for accessories like new watch strap / case colours that be ordered today.
They still are deciding the name, I mean iPhone 13 or iPhone 12s 🤣🤣
