Apple's Online Store Temporarily Down [Update: Back Up]

AirPods 3rd Gen, releasing tomorrow, count on it.

With the iPhone even next month, I'd expect Apple to be doing some site maintenance.

Possible, but unlikely that they would take the store down for something like that

Hoping it's the Ice Lake refresh MP. I've been waiting for the refresh for a couple months now. I've been holding back from the 2019 model because of this. The GPU refresh was great to see today.

They often take the site down for maintenance.

Face ID MacBooks, shut up and take my money. 😃😂

Oh boy. I wonder what’s going on?

They’re horrible Youtubers that talk about video exporting for the most part and using that as some sort of universal computing metric. They also use constant clickbait to influence the algorithm, making them even more annoying. And not to mention the uncanny valley accents… not a fan.

I agree that they are somewhat annoying and click-baity, but they're usually comparing the different SKUs against each other in a way that isn't just running GeekBench which is actually fairly rare.

I can’t believe in 2021 they still shut down their online shop for maintenance and store changes. Do any other big company online shops still do this ?

See reports that the store is down in UK, and Germany besides the states.

I'm going with new watch bands.

While we’re at it, where’s my iPod Pro Max Ultrabook? 😭

Saw Spain, Canada, Mexico and a few other countries on Twitter as well (likely many many more). Not sure how large of a reach this has but seems it's every market.

They’re probably overwhelmed by Mac Pro gpu buyers 😁

Lol just as I was second guessing my Touch ID keyboard purchase..

It'll never be a good time to stop regretting that purchase

 

[JCoe13]

Back online, no new Macbooks

 

[MallardDuck]

completely down now - not even the error message. Just failed to open the page. Sounds like a CDN issue.

on a Wed afternoon, afternoon CA time ... hmm ... what might be coming???

 

[Realityck]

Maybe this has to do with making keyboards available now at stores

Buy Mac Accessories

Apple Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2. Redesigned to be fully rechargeable and even more of a joy to use.

Nothing new, from what anyone can see. Probably just maintenance for upcoming releases.

 

[JUiCEJamie]

Back up.

I've said it a dozen times, but I'll say it again: why in the hell does apple need to shut down their website with any product update, when ESPN is updating thousands of scores and articles real-time, all day long.
Apple is still living in the 1998 internet in that regard.

Store is back back up and they actually added a store tab. Doesn't work, but...

You make it sound like its such a huge issue. Lol. I mean, banks do this too for site maintenance etc.

It was working before I restarted Safari, now it doesn't?
