Apple Store Down Ahead of 'It's Glowtime' iPhone 16 Apple Event

[MacRumors]

Apple's online storefront has gone down ahead of the "It's Glowtime" Apple event taking place later today, where several new products are expected to be announced.

Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, Apple Watch SE 3, Apple Watch Series 10, AirPods 4, and AirPods Max 2. The company should also announce the release dates of its next major software updates including iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia. The event's tagline, "It's Glowtime," seems to hint at Apple Intelligence's role in the event.

MacRumors will have in-depth coverage of today's Apple event, which kicks off at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, including a live blog on our website and posts via @MacRumorsLive on X. For a full rundown of everything we expect to see, be sure to check out our guide.

It's not the iPhone 16 event. It's the Apple Watch Series X Event.

I get that they do this because it adds chatter and drives conversation, but in the year 2024 of our Lord, it just seems like an asinine and overly performative practice.

… and I’ll be watching 🥳

I mean I will as well, and I’ll also be buying the phone, but the practice of taking the store down just seems like it’s run its course.

About 96 hours. Preorder wont start until Friday.

Waiting to see all the new products in a few hours!

 

[dumastudetto]

They are doing this to remove the EarPods.

 

[thecautioners]

About 96 hours. Preorder wont start until Friday.

It’d be great if they drop one on us and open preorders as soon as the event ends 😂

 

[brandonnnnnnn]

Why Apple!? I was going to order my iPhone 15 right now.

Maybe in a few years, thanks to the exciting advances of AI, Apple will finally devise a way to hold a keynote without having to shut down their entire store worldwide for hours.

It's the most incredible 96 hours, we think you're going to love it.

that A18 Pro will crush the competition...hopefuly the Pro models will have same thermals treatment like the m4 ipad pro

 

[iMac The Knife]

I can't wait to see how they spin the cool factor into the new 'Golden Turd' color option. It's going to go over like a lead ballon!

Also, at least you all will only have to wait one more year now for a slightly decent upgrade. Silver lining.

 

[MathersMahmood]

OMG ITS HAPPENING.

EVERYBODY STAY CALM.

STAY CALM!

 

[Ameer_1]

Rumors the Pro will start at $999

I hope it looks nothing like that.could you imagine those sides with that back.

 

[abatabia]

Meh. I get its marketing and it’s for hype but this whole routine has grown stale and repetitive. I’ll catch the Macrumors coverage but not even watching or upgrading. Maybe next year. Can’t get excited about spec bumps and that color that reminds me of 7up gold from the late 1980s.

 

[Shaggymax]

Apple, throw in a BIG surprise for a change!

 

[krspkbl]

I too agree the whole store down thing is boring.

have the live stream and refresh the store when it's done. simple.

apple product reveals aren't as exciting as they used to be so all the drama is kinda silly.
