Apple Store Taken Down Ahead of WWDC Keynote With iOS 18 and More

[MacRumors]

Apple has taken down its online store ahead of its WWDC 2024 keynote at 10 a.m. Pacific Time today. This is a common marketing tactic for the company.

During the keynote, Apple is expected to unveil major software updates across its platforms, including iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, visionOS 2, and more. Apple's online store going down ahead of events often means new hardware will be announced too, but we will simply have to wait and see if that is the case.

Three possibilities for the store being down could include a minor product release like AirPods Max with a USB-C port, international availability of the Apple Vision Pro headset, or preparations for Apple's annual "Back to School" promotion for students. Alternatively, maybe Apple just took down the store to create additional hype.

In any case, we'll find out in a matter of minutes!

Hopefully new Apple TV!

New Mac Studio...I've been looking to step up from my M1 mini and/or 2019 Intel iMac.

Or...maybe even the rumored MacBook Studio

 

[cfgainz]

Yet again, rumors mean nothing.

 

[Chancha]

Guys chill, it will just be the Magic Mouse updated with type-C.
Port still at the bottom of course.

 

[Tyler O'Bannon]

THAT AI POWERED BEATS PILL++ IS DROPPING!

Jokes aside, Mac Studio?

 

[Realityck]

Updating processors on devices such as m2 based to M3 or M4 is still possible.

Hopefully new Apple TV!

I'm a member of the "will always buy the new Apple TV" group.

However, I don't really expect anything since it's on A15. Unless they have bigger plans in line with the added camera and FaceTime stuff.

Then we start to wonder, will there be more than 1 product line or will that just be the latest ATV?

We shall see...

 

[dumastudetto]

New iPods Pros.

 

[bronksy]

This will be the fastest, most powerful WWDC ever.

 

[Windoes]

Apple IMac ftw

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Didn't expect the Apple Store to go down because I didn't expect any hardware today.

As a sidenote: The Developer pages are also down. That is the Account pages, and a few other services: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

Port on the top, you no longer need to flip it over, and still can't use it

[dumastudetto]

he never ruled anything out

 

[jimthing]

New keyboard/trackpad/mouse with USB-C!

EDIT:

Oh, someone already said that. Carry on...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it be an original iPod with the scroll wheel like Phil had in the airplane, just with an ssd inside and bluetooth.

I want to believe

 

[HJM.NL]

Why is the sound so soft of the keynote?

 

[jz0309]

But wait, Gurman said no HW today _ could he have been wrong?
Guess we’ll have to wait and see

 

[DesertNomad]

Of course the macOS is last… Apple is only interested in Macs now as you can’t create software for all the other devices without one. I miss the pre-2007 Apple.

 

[tunne]

Hopefully vision pro in the UK
