Ding ding ding! Not everyone in the world are Apple fanatics. Most don't follow the rumor mill the way we do.

I keep wondering if this is just a marketing trick or is the store technically really that bad that it can't add/update products within seconds? Just imagine Amazon would go down for hours each time they add a new product. Why would they voluntary loose half a day of business?
With memory and camera upgrades, I wouldn't think Apple will be saving too much on costs this year.If Apple responds to decreasing Android handset prices and uses the savings from reusing the basic design for a third year, they might do something like this:
SE: $399
6S: $499 6SE Plus $599
7: $599 7Plus $749 (because you get dual camera)
Yes, I know some people are predicting price increases. But I can't see how the 7 can get a price increase and not get the dual camera that the 7 Plus gets. And I just don't see how Apple can hold the line on last year's prices all the way through 2017 while shipping (A) the same form factor for a third year and (B) Android prices dropping to $399 for Plus sized phones with very good specs (and those are 2016 prices, probably 2017 prices drop further).
So if Apple holds the line, do you get the bump in size and the dual camera for only $100 more or do you have to pay $150 more?
SE $399
6S: ??? Maybe $549 to not encourage buying it over the 7 but still leaving an option for folks who want jack and to save $100. Since the 6 continues to sell in buckets, there are folks who want to save that $100.
7: $649 7Plus $799 (because dual camera, maybe more memory to start with like 64gb as well).
New watch bands. Yaaaaaaay! They made us wait sooooooo long.Can't wait to see the new watch bands!

Not necessarily. I'm sure there's a lot of logic/code behind the store that needs testing/updating. Also from a resources POV, it's easier to push lots of people to a static page until the store is ready and potentially redirect everyone to heavily cached store once it launches.Before someone says it, they do it for hype, and it works.
Of course they could silently update the store, they could do it within seconds.
And 6 hours of no business is nothing, they'll recuperate it within minutes once the store is back up.
same here...Still 5 hours to go can't wait anymore![]()
This closing seems much earlier than I remember for past reveals. With the recent rumor that FoxConn is already shipping units, could it be possible that Apple will open preorders immediately following the keynote?
Maybe I'm just letting my excitement influence my logic
Oh, is that all?Shame all there releasing is new phones watch and IOS / OS .

The global supply chain is amazing. I can order something from Apple and track it from China to my door over just a handful of days. And the shipping is done so efficiently and at such scale that it doesn't even cost me the consumer much.
I heard 'slide to unlock' was gone in iOS 10?

Damn, I was just about to buy an iPhone 6S and anWatch. Any chance we might see a new version of one or both of them?
