I wonder how much more time for Apple to realize this is not cool but embarassing.
Got a tip for us?

Taking the store down is having the desired effect, your all on here talking about it.
Knock on effect that someone on he will now be made aware that’s happening today and make a purchase.
Doubt apple will stop doing this because it’s free publicity, as soon as the store goes down it reported on Mac websites and scrolls up the forums by users having a debate.

If Apple can sell a $550 pair of headphones during a pandemic with delivery dates slipping when it first released, I see no reason why we wouldn’t expect the same with AirTags.
Unless Apple only made like 10 pairs of AirPod Max lol.

Apple’s worldwide headquarters is though.
I am sooo glad I caught him on his musicology tour. Wow, what an amazing musician.
Im having a hard time staying away from the purple iPhone 12 mini. I have an awesome yellow iPhone 11 already though so I definitely don’t need it. Totally want it though. Same with a purple or orange iMac. If I didn’t get a 27” iMac last august I’d totally be getting one of the new ones.
Side note, I’m happy tech has reached a point people can make purchases based on color choices instead of poring over tech specs.
And why such a late release. With the 13 probably coming out late fall as normal why not just save it for the 13?
That would be a pain, wanted Space Invaders on mine "just coz"
Odd you can't pick an apple logo as an engraving tho.....
People whose favourite colour is purple?
Having said that, Apple hardly ever makes stuff in a real bold purple, it’s always some pastel-y shade. I’d love a deep purple iPhone one day…

Like the back of the mew iMac? I wish the entire iMac was that color.People whose favourite colour is purple?

This. The simple fact that so many commenters on this article are getting bent out of shape over it proves that it causes waves. In this case though, any publicity is good publicity.
Do you people really think they haven’t figured out how to keep their storefront up while just graying out the purchase now button? Of course not. It’s all about hype.
Exactly that, yes! Or like the purple “sport” Apple Watch straps (but sadly the fabric loop ones are still pastel-y). The new iMac is 50% sexy purple.
Just ordered a 4-pack with all of them engraved, and still getting an estimated delivery of 30th April. Fingers crossed…
Smack your head all you want (why are you hitting yourself?). You think Apple is going to launch at a time that is inconvenient for their California engineering staff in case their website goes offline or some error occurs?
