Apple's Online Store Down for Scheduled 'Maintenance' Break, Possibly Ahead of Product Updates

[Chicane-UK]

Cause it's a trendy leftie cause.

Cause 'righties' don't do charity, right?

 

[brenkh]

I went through the different categories and noticed that only the following display the update banner:
- iPad mini 2
- Apple watch bands
- iPhone 6s
- All accessories pages
- All "Buy' pages

Everything else can be accessed... Unless I missed something.

Yes, this has everything to do with why they only donate money from (RED) products.

"Something quite special arrived to the Store

We´re arranging it to show it to you.
Come again later."

Oh, I prefer this message!

iPod Hi-Fi refresh! Fingers crossed!

Maybe a new colour at best ...

 

[LeonardXW]

I don't get it why Apple turn to be so shy to unveil product personally?
Maybe due to none of them can give a good presentation.
Will they cancel all the keynotes one day?

Not Macbook (NL store – checking this because I am simultaneously being pissed off on the phone with customer service of bol.com, the seller, who ASSURED me I got a track'n'trace code yesterday).

There is no keynote because Timmy is galavanting in China.

iPad spec bump
MacBook spec bump
iPhone 7/7+ red colour
iPhone SE 128gb (maybe new red colour as well...?)
Remove old products...?

It won't be anything like a new product, 10.5" iPad for example.

why should they make a keynote for spec bumps?

3.5" iPhone is back.

I wouldn't read into it too much. this image seems to be three years old

mac pro upgraded from trashcan to wheelie bin form factor?

 

[Ries]

mac pro upgraded from trashcan to wheelie bin form factor?

More like faster storage speeds, thinner and downgraded to low power dual core CPU. Everything soldered, even fans.

 

[andrewbergman]

PowerBook G5 anyone?

 

[dazzer21-2]

MAC PRO!! MAC PRO!! Mac... oh!

 

[Max Portakabin]

UK punters about to get screwed again on pricing.

 

[navaira]

mac pro upgraded from trashcan to wheelie bin form factor?

Howl! That would be amazing. But I don't think Mac Pro will be updated with anything except price hike. They'd do that at the event. It will be something along the lines of processor bump on Macbook and iPads and, yeah, SE with 128 GB and in red. Or, of course, nothing at all.

 

[Chancha]

1) iPhone SE with no headphone jack
2) 12" MacBook with 32GB RAM because Kaby Lake
3) finally quad core i7 Mac Mini
4) Jet Black color for Mac Pro... wait

 

[navaira]

2) 12" MacBook with 32GB SSD because iCloud and Optimized Storage

Fixed your typos

Aargh I am probably more excited than before last keynote. Please don't literally be maintenance.

 

[fermat-au]

Rose Gold Mac Pro

 

[Dave245]

I'm betting that if this is just maintenance there are going to be some really annoyed people, even tho you can't blame Apple because they never promised products.

Both US and UK site appear normal to me! What a heck??
