Apple's Online Store Goes Down Amid New iMac and iPad Rumors

Same here. I'm getting sick of hearing that 'low battery' tone ... it's happening almost every day now
I think that when the iMac 2016 was released, as a spec bump, the store was updated on the fly. Don’t remember it being taken down.
Is this part of the problem apple had yesterday with services being off line?
Am hoping that it is a product update, just not getting my hopes up ;-/

Did expect this (but not until Tuesday, because Apple), since new iMac are overdue and new iPad were rumoured.
Also, there was additional corroboration from Mark Gurman over the weekend.
Expect that you will get half of what you hoped for, at 50% more than you think is reasonable and that the new products miss the mark on many features. This is from someone who has been following Apple for the best part of 40 years.
Almost every day? Mine happens almost every hour. I get the damn sound about 5-6 times a day
It's a shame for a company like Apple, to bring down their online store, to perform a trivial task, such as introducing a new product or updating product info...
I like these silent releases, without any fanfare. Please, surprise us!
It’s done to build hype.
At this point I would not even be surprised if they just increase some prices here and there without releasing updated products.
Everyone is excited, but what if in the end they just put some new Watch bands?
It came as a surprise to me, I thought they'd launch products after the event, if not during the keynote, but maybe they want next Monday to be only focused on content so they sell "boring" updates this week

Apple Watch with 5k display, please. And Apple Pencil support.

Interesting, I really thought they'd do this to coincide with the event and new services being announced. Maybe this means they've got too much to update all in one go. The rMB and nTB Pro are also just about due for an update (if they're going to be) alongside the iPads, iPod touch, Air Power, Air Pods (am I forgetting anything?) - Maybe they will do all these in two phases, with the ones on the 25th being ones that tie in to the streaming service more?
I would love a new iMac, mine's turning 6 in September. But I would also like to see a bigger refresh than just updated CPU and GPU. A design refresh is overdue, I mean them bezels are huge.
No one expected the Apple Store to go down early on a Monday morning a week before the keynote, not even yourself. That’s what I meant by this is -random- of Apple, and no one has a timeline of how Apple does things.
It's a good job Amazons site does not go down every time they add a new product or adjust a price.
Must be terrible for a tiny company such as Apple, with little money, not to be able to do these changes as well as others

Pfft... I'll believe it when I see it. But Air Power would be awesome. Space Gray Please.

I'm in the exact same boat. Plus they've been through the washing machine three times, so I think it's time... lol.
