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

How long are we expecting this outage for? Usually we have an event to know when it would go back up :/?

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 ;)

I always wonder why it takes them so long to update the store.
Maybe it has something to do with CDN, they want all the world, at the same time, to see the same content. Maybe if the update took only a minute we'd see different results in different countries.

Anyway fingers crossed for a new iPad mini, and I'm in the market for a new Mac so even updates to the CPU of iMacs could be interesting to me

Come on Apple... new budget iPad, make it a good one! Got cash in hand to order two!

Anyone know when it's likely to come back up? Surely an hour or two?
 
Hope it doesn't turn out to be 'routine maintenance' again after getting everyone's hopes up (though I think they forewarned about that last time?)

As it seems to effect all the 'Buy' pages for all products and it's still the early hours in much of the USA this looks a little like routine maintenance...

"New AirPods!"
"New iPads!"
"AirPower"

Come on guys... it'll be a new Watch strap or something

*Edit* - Hope I'm wrong btw

Well this is random by Apple, I’m sure no one expected this. But this is what I like about Apple, you never know what to expect from them.

At this point I would not even be surprised if they just increase some prices here and there without releasing updated products.

Has to be something. Not down for watch bands or new cases.

I'd say AirPower is finally coming. If it doesn't show up today it would be quite weird...
I hope they'll announce a new iPad mini with updated internals, maybe A11 is not the latest A12, and I'd love even a new entry level at 9.7 or 10''.
 
Odd, I'm in Australia and the app is showing it's down but the website works fine. AU and US sites.
EDIT: Wait no when I click buy on anything I get the same screen on the website
 
The store loads fine for me and there are no new products. Am I missing something?
 
New Mac Pro? So at this stage we’re just making guesses at stuff that’ll never happen? Okay cool, I’ll join in.

- iPod classic with 2TB of SSD.
- iOS update that gives dark mode and hidden volume controls.
- iPad Mini with a full screen like the Pro.
- iMac accessories in Space Grey that are priced the same as white ones.
- iPhone with 1TB storage.
