Apple's Online Store Down Ahead of Today's iPhone 7 Event

It'd be great if they made them available for preorder today since my 6s+ is on the blink, but when has Apple ever made a phone available to preorder on the same day as the keynote?

Your 6s+ is still in warranty - - why not just have it fixed?

I had Apple do an express replacement, but FedEx screwed the pooch on the delivery yesterday and now I'm not able to get the package due to travel. The Apple Store can't give me a new one since the one FedEx applied their magic to is still in limbo. At this point, I'm just going to give this turd back to AT&T since it's NEXT.
 
What's a good place to livestream at? Preferably one that doesn't keep moving my browser page as it refreshes so I have to scroll and find my place again if I'm away from my PC.

Also what's the purported release schedule? 12am PST this Friday for preorders and delivery 9/16?
 
Hey where is the image of the location where this is taking place. I want to saw the outside decoration

I hope the iPhone 7 has flush edges so I can balance it on its side. That's a must have in my book, along with headphone socket.

That's one of the oddest reasons I've ever seen.

Another must have. I don't understand thus obsession Apple has to change things. Leave them be.

Should we should just stick with the original iPhone OS that shipped with the original iPhone?

Why is this still considered "News" and why are there always pages of pages of comments on this stupid topic? OMG The Apple Store is down on the day of a big event!!! OMG the world is shattering!

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?

It's cheap marketing because every so-called "tech blog" feels a need to report on this stupid story for EVERY event. It'd be NEWS if the store DIDN'T go down.

Is there any good reason to only stream on Apple products? Wouldn't there be value in letting "outsiders" view the new info live, too?

Not really. I've pointed it out to Apple Store sales people before and they've usually ended up trying it as I leave to see if what I say is true. For original OS, it's not that hard to keep the original iOS theme for power users.

It would be cool if they did a "One more thing" announcement at the end like in the old days and surprised everyone with a new Mac Pro or something.

My friend, Steve is dead.We aint gonna see "one last thing" again, unless they've released new watch bands and we haven't heard of 'em yet.You know it, i know it, we ALL know it, they've abandoned us "Pro" consumers.1000 Mac Pros don't bring in the same money as 2 million iPhones

I don't like the rounded edges at all. An iPhone 7 in with the iphone 5 case design would be great. First screen I ever broke was from dropping the rounded football like iPhone 6.
