I always get excited when the Apple Store goes down. Am I weird?

Your condition is safe here. Enjoy!

What time are press releases generally?

10am precisely.

"Imagine if Amazon had to take down their store every time they added or updated products!"

🤣

The only products that the store is "down" for is the iPad Air, MacBook Pro 13, and Accessories? Which indicates it's the only these are the "new" products being revealed today?

Apple must be the only company in the world that is able to close their own online store for several minutes without the fear of losing a crazy amount of money.

Obviously, they lose some amount and sells, but you can bet mostly every visitor will be back looking for what they were searching to buy.

Fingers crossed for the new larger display iMac.

If you keep them crossed until the larger iMac launches you'll break a world record.

Apple simply loves the theatrics?

OR

They simply have a clunky back end?

OR

Tim loves an extended drum roll?

They know that every Apple website and news outlet will post about at as soon as it goes down. Cheap advertising.

I have a feeling these new iPads will be the best iPads Apple has ever made.

Well, Tim would certainly say so!

like he always does

Wish list: new smaller apple pencil, iPad Pro with landscape camera and much better battery life. I barely get 4 hours screen time with my 12.9 Pro. Lighter Magic Keyboard with an off switch (preferably in software), my current keyboard drains the iPad even when not in use.

Yes, they're sure to update all products that have just been updated in the last 6 months while leaving out the ones that haven't been updated in a year or longer.

I wonder who is refreshing the Apple Store more frequently; MacRumors so they know which of their already prepared articles to post or MacRumors iPad users.

I really hope new mac minis are announced soon. Since there’s no mention of them in this story I’ll bet they are announced when MacOS Ventura is released.

Yeah yeah, "Steve Jobs would never".

The Apple Store has always been down like this ahead of a keynote or release so Tim Cook has nothing to do with it.

That's definitly not what she said.

That product is a fantasy. If it would exist, there'd have been a leak of some kind.

The Mac Studio is the replacement for the larger iMac.

 

[Pezimak]

Well I'll be.... Grumman was right. His faith is restored.
Wonder if we'll get anything else other then new iPads though?

I expect we will have the usual tech You Tubers posting videos later today then with their reviews.

 

[krspkbl]

hopefully it's not just ipads today. gimme m2 mac mini
