Apple Online Store Goes Down Ahead of 'Time Flies' Virtual Event

[MacRumors]

Apple's online store is down in anticipation of its "Time Flies" event later on Tuesday, strongly suggesting products will be available to pre-order or order immediately after the event.

The placeholder says "We're making updates to the Apple store. Check back soon."

Apple's "Time Flies" event will be a virtual media event, where the company is expected to unveil new Apple Watch and iPad models. Rumors suggest we will not see the iPhone 12 at this event, with Apple instead waiting perhaps until October to take the wraps off of its next flagship iPhones.

Apple's media event kicks off at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and you can tune in on Apple's event page, on Apple's YouTube channel, or through the TV app on Apple's various platforms. Stay up to date on all the latest news and developments right here on MacRumors!

I wish I was exited but all the rumours have down played the event for me

 

[MrMacintoshIII]

I’m excited to see the new watch color(s)!

 

[Roscorito]

Anyone else think this is excessive for new watches? One more thing?

Found the Apple Watch non-fanatic!

 

[AirunJae]

New watches and updated iPads... curious to see what else actually happens. I was interested in a new watch but if it's mostly just blood oxygen, then I'll probably pass for the first time and I've had each gen. Although if they come out with a blue one to compliment the blue iPhone 😬

OMG I'm so excited! Take all my money!!!

Let’s see after the event if you still feel this way

It still baffles me they have to take down the whole website this early to prepare for an update. Maybe it is still for marketing hype but would think they would be beyond that now.

a smart company will never be beyond marketing hype.

Just like clockwork....

 

[Justinb51]

I think he was trying to be funny.

 

[MrMacintoshIII]

I think he was trying to be funny.

If he was, I wasn’t.

 

[fullfast]

Didn't upgrade watch last GEN so doing it this GEN...hoping for new colour

 

[PickUrPoison]

iPhone 12 announcement, pre-orders start today 🤯

 

[Kylo83]

I skipped series 5 for the first time because it didn’t have much new only always on display, now hearing the new watch only has that oxygen thing I pray there’s more up it’s sleeve

 

[Caliber26]

I always get so nervous before these events.

This time last year I didn't think I had any interest in the S5 watch, but the AOD feature got me -- it "fixed" an annoyance I've had with the prior gen watches. Looking back now, I'm glad I made that choice.

The rumored stuff for the S6 watch isn't of any interest to me so far ... we shall see.

 

[Dolmio]

yeah i hope there is something more to the watch than what the rumours say....

 

[AlexESP]

Excited to see what Apple does with blood oxygen. It can be a huge feature, if it’s well implemented.

[BlankStar]
