Apple’s online store is currently offline, displaying the familiar message that often, but not always, precedes new product additions:
We’ll be back. We are busy updating the Apple Store for you and will be back soon.
Apple CEO Tim Cook just finished his onstage appearance at the D: All Things Digital Conference at 8:02pm PDT. A recap can be found here.
We’ll keep an eye on the Apple Store for you while reminding you that better deals can instead often be found at MacConnection and/or MacMall.
MacDailyNews Note: 7:58am EDT: The UK Store is now back online with no obvious new products to be found at first glance. Some new Father’s Day promotions perhaps? We expect Apple’s other stores around the world to reopen shortly. Let us know if you see anything new.
9:30am EDT: The U.S. Apple Store is now back online. 10+ hours offline (no sales) just to add Father’s Day promos? Somebody screwed up.
Ohh, New iPhones! 😉
They added the Nest thermostat.
it’s late, i just have to say this: 3 ghz g5 powerbooks!!
The return of the “Cube.”
iPrinters!
iToilet. I spend tons of time there, and the experience could be improved. A whole new meaning to “touch screens”
Apple Store site down Down Under too….
Yea, Apple often introduces new products without any announcements at 11pm.
On a Tuesday no less.
Just some behind-the-scenes code updates.
UAE also. Fingers crossed for iPhone or MBP. However, seems odd to make any major announcements 12 days before WWDC keynote.
the wireless pock mouse?
i just really wish new iMacs with USB 3.0 and non-glossy if possible (it’s possible!!!)
Oops! mean PUCk mouse.
(weitten ob iphone 😃 )
I like pock- mouse better. Maybe its tail has also rotted off.
Maybe you meant the pox mouse?
The Newton Lives!!!!!!!’
Just a shot in the dark, but it’s possible the WWDC Keynote is going to be so loaded with content (including, perhaps, a lengthy tribute to Jobs) that this could be the spillover cut from the Keynote. And the more significant the spillover announcement is, the bigger the expectations for the WWDC Keynote will be.
Mac pro maybe……
We will see. 🙂
Modular Thunderbolt Stack-a-MacPro.
It’s time to break up the big box machine.
Canadian store still off line now at 6:50am.
Not sure where my post has gone…..
Anyway, The Store is up here in the UK.
No sign of any Macbooks.
I’ve not been into the store recently, is that today’s change?
Wow, must have been out of the loop for a while, last July on the White Macbooks!!
UK store has gone down again….
What? No 4 inch screened iphones?
8:30 AM (CDT)
Apple Store USA: Open
Apple Store Mexico: Closed
Apple Store Spain: Open
It seems they are getting prepared to father’s day, as you can see an add in the US store.
Well…
Now, Apple Store Mexico open.
Father’s day advertising.
Is it just me or does 10+ hours seem a bit much to add a picture and a link… Here is my take. I think that with WWDC on the horizon they are updating at least some of their inventory early but not allowing the public to view the content. They may be spacing things out because of massive amounts of changes. Just my take MDN.
People, people …. ! Consider that just because you do not see the changes, does not mean that they are not there… The system could be loaded and updated with just the actual images/pricing/ etc ready to put in.
Oh yea of little faith.
Just a thought,

PS. June 11 is just around the corner.
