I googled and apple store was down on april 12th and may 31st. So look like this was not the first time. Anyhow he is entitled to his opinion and there was never any official mention from apple of a new mini at WWDC or before or after. So sleep is not a bad idea either.

No matter how many times the Apple site goes down for routine maintenance on Wednesday mornings, there are always these speculation threads where people freak out and think updates are coming. Then, in the morning, the site comes back up with no new products. It happens again and again. One would think people would have learned the pattern by now, but it appears some never learn. :rolleyes:

Hoping for iMacs. Probably won't happen though

Hopefully they're updating the backend for the Mountain Lion launch so when it ships, they flip a switch and new iMacs and Mac Minis appear.

Similarly to the weeks before WWDC when the store was down multiple times and flipped the switch for all the new stuff they announced.

The Apple Store is down as of 7/18/12 12:30AM hopefully it means a new iMac and Mac mini. It most likely is not, but is still worth saying.

What you didn't take note of the seconds after 12:30AM? :rolleyes:

Sorry for sounding like an a$$, but I think it's silly to make a new thread every time the Apple Store goes down.:)

That one is new for me. It rotates through various languages.

Here is to refurbished 2012 models.

I'm sure you know that the refurb store is updated at many times throughout the day without taking the store down, but the rotating languages is new.

I an not saying Therese won't be and updated macs, but I can tell you this is actually the third time in a week they work on their site. They did so on Friday last week and Sunday. Those two were only on the order status and bridge point sites though. But as they have updated them them late last week I am pretty sure they only do the same kind of update to the main store site. And yeah the rotating banner was the same at the updates I mentioned.

One can still hope though.

Yes hope is good. But I'm getting sleepy. I will prey while I'm asleep though. Just wake me up in 3 weeks when all the confusion is over.

My guess is just design changes.

I could be wrong cos I don't usually check obsessively, but is this the first time they've got rid of the yellow post it? There's a new canvas background as well.

If it was just adding iMacs the down time would be quicker I would have thought, whereas wholesale design changes would take longer..?

Pure speculation.

The new design has been there for some time now.
