Do you think it might be done to avoid costumers buying HW that will be outdated in several hours ?
And if they "block" certain devices you will know those are being updated.
Got a tip for us?

Not really. But whatever. Like you said, it's been like this for decades.
M1 Ultra supreme polishing cloth. 5 times the price of the current polishing cloth. Comes in a pro black color. lol
If the updated Mac Pro is what you consider incredible, then great but they are not going to release M2 products so soon after only releasing Mac Studio with M1 Ultra.
Personally I would prefer WWDC focused on software.
Another option:
New MPro is announced for "later this year" aka a paperlaunch in December with the old one being removed from the site.
No, I don't think that is all thats gonna happen but I just won't rule it out.
It's way more exciting to take down a website than just silently update it. That's how consumers know things are coming.
It always is. WWDC is 5 days, a hardware announcement won't change that.
Typical. Just when I paid off my credit card after the studio display...
I've been watching keynotes for almost as long as they've been having them and I still get excited when the store goes down ahead of something being announced.

Usually old products are sold out and go out of stock during the week preceding an event. This time there wasn’t anything particularly notable about the channel though…
Just waiting for Tim to say:
Wow! What an amazing day moment!
We tricked you all by taking the store down again...
"You will love it!"
"The best iOS, PadOs, TVOs ever!!!"
Russian hackers: Let’s make suckers think Apple come out with new product today.
Gotta love it when the Apple Store goes down on you first thing in the morning.
