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

You don't think that needing to balance your iPhone on its edge is an odd 'must have'?
And of course it's not hard to have an original iOS theme, it's just completely stupid.
Give Apple employees a break and join the live events as well, everyone know today is the big day.
Slide to Unlock is a must have? Pressing a button too hard to do?
I don't mind it personally since I use Touch ID. I never slid to unlock anyway once that became a feature.
Why does the link to the official Apple live stream have the words (spoiler-free) after it???
Is MR assuring us that Apple's live stream link won't have info/photos of the items they've desperately tried to keep secret, prior to their announcement? Are they comforting us in the knowledge that while watching it LIVE, we won't be told about the stuff before we're told about the stuff?? I just can't fathom any reason whatsoever why a live stream would be labeled "spoiler free".
Either that phrase doesn't have the meaning I thought, or the meaning they think.

Designed to build anticipation, maybe to capture those that aren't in the know or drowning in rumors... or they just have a really really antiquated approach to updating site content...
Definitely AW2. You think they're going to speak about the iPhone for two hours? We aren't expecting iPad's or Mac's so that only leaves one product left...

He loves it.And yet, here you are.....
Yeah - Preorders
If history is any guide we are more likely to see headphones or some two-bit accessory avaialbe today and iPhone pre-orders on Friday. Apple isn't the ony one that will be pre-selling iPhones and it can't jump ahead of the cellcos because moves like that spoile relationships. Apple already hogs the initial inventory.
Would not be surprised to see a iPad update or two that's avaialble today as well. But wouldn't put a cent on iPhone pre-orders.
I didn't know that, as a US resident, I could order from the HONG KONG Apple Store while the US Store is down. Wonder how much shipping is?
Apple KeyNote events should be national holidays so we all can do in the open what we secretly monitor in web browsers while at work whilst maintaining a pretense of serious effort on that MS Power Point presentation etc...
So now, pressing the home button (I assume that is the button you are referring to) wakes my phone up and allows me to read my notifications without unlocking the phone. Then I slide to unlock.Slide to Unlock is a must have? Pressing a button too hard to do?
How do you press the home button to unlock without dismissing the notifications before you get a chance to read them? One press? Two presses? Multiple presses on the home button aren't exactly responsive and accurate.
Except Amazon's servers are built for 24/7 high demand e-commerce and it's a leader in server storage. Apple's normal server demand is a sliver of Amazon's needs. Also Apple is pretty kluzty when it comes to server operations (See iCloud and predecessors). Even when Apple shuts down it's often hard for it to bring it back up smoothly. I imagine, yes, Apple does have to slowly bring it up and a massive surge would take its system down completely. Apple cannot compete with Amazon in that regard.
I think I watched the WWDC keynote directly in the browser on Windows 10, no VLC required. But I could be remembering it wrong. It used to be Safari only for Windows users, but when they scrapped Safari on Windows they let other browsers in. Unless I dreamt it all? I will have to check when I get home.
2 1/2 hours left come on Apple the suspence is killing me can't wait to purchase.....![]()
Apple's online storefront has been taken offline this morning, less than six hours prior to the company's upcoming "See You on the 7th" media event at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, where Tim Cook and other senior executives are expected to announce the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, second-generation Apple Watch, new Beats products, and possibly other updates.
![apple-store-down-sep-2016.jpg]()
Apple will provide a live stream (spoiler free) of the keynote on the Apple TV and on iOS and Mac devices through its website, starting at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. MacRumors will also have full coverage of the event, with a live blog on our front page at MacRumors.com and updates in 140 characters or less through our @MacRumorsLive account on Twitter. Last week, we outlined what to expect at the event.
We'll also have specific coverage of today's announcements in separate news stories, and our community forums are a great place for readers to discuss the announcements before, during, and after the event. Be sure to keep tabs on the iPhone and Apple Watch sections in particular for the latest discussions.

No end of show surprises.....video with Ive doing his constipated Brit thing.......everything thinner except the prices.......Cook doing his Kermit impression......the one with the ludicrous big hair thinking he's cool and gorgeous......oh, and some cordless headphones........just once it would be fun if there was an earth loop fault on stage to liven up the demonstrations..........either that or the crowd should throw rotten fruit to show displeasure at another groundhog day event
Well color me mistaken then. Definitely the excitement
Finished it for you
By Staind
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high (Innovation, new products)
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you (MBP)
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again (Eddy Cue)
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you (800-APL-CARE)
And everything I can't remember
As f*****d up as it all may seem (General MR consensus about Apple)
The consequences that I've rendered (TC needs to be fired)
I've stretched myself beyond my means (Apple prices)
And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted (iphone Smombies))
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well (LOOKING THINNER)
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and f*****d things up just like I always do (Tim Cook according to MR posters)
And it's been awhile
But all that s**t seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember (so much in the pipeline)
As f***d up as it all may seem (no Mac Mini)
The consequences that I've rendered (Apple share price drops)
I've gone and f****d things up again (doomed)
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away (EU TAX NOTICE)
Just one more peaceful day! (With no negative Apple news)
And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight (Well not really straight, but no problem HERE)
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry(For no updated MBPs)
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember
As f****d up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father (SJ)
He did the best he could for me
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
