Apple Store Goes Down Ahead of 'Spring Loaded' Event Later Today

[Surfer13134]

Excited for the new iPads, Mine has been on its last leg for months now but keep holding off since I knew a new one was right around the corner and the Mini LED is going to be a huge improvement!

 

[neuropsychguy]

I'm exciting for the new, colorful Apple Slinky! A revolutionary new way to spend minutes of fun.

 

[jonnysods]

I love this tradition!

It is unusually early for the store to go down, though, isn‘t it? I guess that means we‘ll ge a ton of new stuff.

Still no idea why they do this, certainly not six hours before the event.

Still no idea why it bothers people?

My wallet's spider-sense is tingling.

Oh... right. iPad Mini and iMac areas are down.

Well, if there’s a new Mini that uses the pencil 2, I will buy that. Need something smaller than the Air with those features. New iMac (I do not think so, but pencil capability would change my mind stat.)

Looking forward to the following from today:

• Multiple "apple releases/announces" posts here.
• The live blog which I actually appreciate very much.
• The "everything apple announced" post.
• The multiple "hands-on with" posts.

Whatever is, is folks. Enjoy the event and don't take it too seriously.

This is MR everyone here takes things too seriously!

I have a feeling we will see new iMacs.

I bet Tim say one more thing and pulls a AirTag out of his pocket at the end.

Generates hype, and gives the store masters time to get everything switched over I suppose.

If they actually *need* to take the store off line to introduce new products, or pricing - then they didn't build it very well.

 

[Serban55]

So people will buy after the event 1 ipad pro, 2 airtags 1 imac and 1 apple tv?
Please people buy at least 1 of each one new peoduct.
Apple needs our money or it goes bankruptcy

Sorry, but Tim doesn't have the chutzpah to pull that off.

Tim has 5pocket denim..so he could pull the airtag from the small pocket like steve did with the ipod mini

Let’s get real -the anticipation is always way better than the actual products.

Not ALWAYS. The only two times I know of where the products actually lived up to the hype are the announcements of the original iPhone and iPad.

Supposedly because they cannot disable all there web / store clients at once and it has to be done little by little, country by country. Hopefully you get the idea.

Apple Card worldwide release anyone??

Still no idea why it bothers people?

It doesn't "bother" me particularly, I just don't get the purpose.

Taking the store down is totally a marketing stunt - a corp with Apple's resources and technical acumen has absolutely no need to take their store down for several hours when adding new products.

 

[Wordman]

Here in the UK, only the Mac accessories page has been replaced with 'We'll be right back'.

*cough*new Apple display?*cough*

I know, I'm fantasising. But you have to allow yourself the occasional dream, right?

I have a feeling we will see new iMacs.

Monkeys paw curls: brand new, Beautiful, colorful iMac... with Intel inside.
