Maybe someone at Apple found the box of good UiX principles that Jony hid seven years ago and they’re working to reincorporate all the goodness inside.
 
I hope new iPads are coming. My old friend (iPad 3 from 2012) needs to retire ;)

I admire your patience. I bought it in 2012 right before iPad 4 was introduced - poor me. On iOS update later and it was slow, two updates later and it was barely usable. I've waited long enough to finally buy the 12.9 Pro in 2016. Sure, it's a completely different animal, but the iPad 3 got really terrible following iOS 9 and unusable for anything else than watching videos. The fact that Apple crippled it with such a small amount of RAM was unforgivable.
 
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.

I’m really disappointed that a design refresh isn’t coming to the iMac. I really thought this year was a good chance of it happening.

But if only iPad / AirPods etc were down we'd know exactly what we're getting though
Yes that's true but we would not know the actual specs because everything was based on rumors until the product actually comes out. However, at least if those two were down, we are able to narrow down and (confirm too?) to see updated products coming out soon.

Don’t tell me they took down the store for hours to add a few spring watch bands.
 
iPad mini 5 with a mount for an optional flamethrower.

Or maybe just updated internals and keeping the laminated display.

Since they put the iMac Pro into the same case the only change to hope for is the space grey option. I also think it could be more difficult to sell the iMac Pro if they will release a new standard iMac with 6 core i7 and Vega gpus.

If that's real, I see the copy editing department at Apple is down this morning too.

It's not. The real store down page is visible from any purchase page, such as for the Mac mini.

See the attached screenshot.

Edit: It's also basically just a translation of the English version.

Maybe someone just pressed the "Update Inventory" and "Refresh CDN" button.
It is Monday, after all.
 
I remember when they refreshed the iMac and MacBook Pros with this 'silent' update. So hopefully we'll see something interesting.

I remember when they released the original Airport Express silently in 2004... a surprise product that defined a category of mini routers yet to be matched.

A couple links...

I don't know why I don't feel excited anything Apple announcements anymore. Either I'm getting or got tired of their boring products and the price that keeping getting higher. :rolleyes:

My guess is it’s too close to the introduction of the iMac pro. Those will need to be the first ones with a proper redesign.

The design feels old, but I don't mind about huge bezels on an iMac as it isn't something I need to carry around. I'm in the market for a new Mac so updated internals would be good

Agree, this is the year of the Mac Pro and possibly a new pro display, any design change will likely come there first and then trickle down to the iMacs
