Apple Store is Down Ahead of Expected iPhone 16E Announcement

[MacRumors]

Apple's online store has gone down ahead of today's expected iPhone 16E announcement.

The store is currently showing a "be right back" splash page. "We're making updates to the Apple Store," it says. "Check back soon."

In the Apple Store app, there is a "watch the event" link, suggesting that the announcement will be accompanied by a video.

Last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the "newest member of the family" would be announced today. That likely refers to the iPhone 16E, set to replace the iPhone SE.

Stay tuned for in-depth coverage of Apple's announcement.

Update: Apple has announced the iPhone 16e, and there is a video.

Please don’t complain folks. We all know why Apple does this.

Are they releasing a video or just a product page? It was interesting to me that they used Tim's account to post the teaser this time.

Yes! New MP3 player in the same form factor as a classic iPod with scroll wheel but with an ssd and AirPods support!!!

 

[matrix6028]

I was hoping for new Mac Studios. Since this event seems very quiet, it must be just for the M16e. Bummer!

 

[ThailandToo]

Hopefully it’s more than just the iPhone 16e. Like MBA M4, AirPods Pro 3, and etc…

 

[Jarman74]

Here comes the Apple Watch 10E!

Whats interesting to me is that there were no leaks at all about this. No box pics, no nothing

That Apple logo looks like an AirTag

 

[BelgianChoklit]

Kinda hoping to see new link watch bands in non 50 shades of mud colors

 

[PDXDP]

I think there’s a airtag surprise

So I assume the embargo with all the youtubers lifts at 11am EST, so in two minutes.

I was just about to say it!

Waiting for the new microfiber …

 

[HobeSoundDarryl]

I'd **** my pants.

While you're dealing with the mess, I'd be beating you to the order desk to buy that.

And it will be crippled with the A18 chip. Already a year behind, because every other iPhone that is released this year will have an A19 chip.

The circle looks like the reflection of the lens from Steve's glasses.
