Apple online store is down

[MythicFrost]

iiiiiiiiiiMac. Yeaauhhhhh.

Probably not. But, it can't hurt to hope.

 

[Creibold]

They don't take the entire store offline to update shipping status. Sorry.

dream-wrecker

 

[bdude52]

I would imagine an hour or two.

Cool thanks I'm really hoping its a new Mac mini, because I'm buying one soon

 

[BTGeekboy]

New Macs on a Friday? I doubt it. More than likely just maintenance. Annoying maintenance that's preventing me from trying to do an iPhone 5 in-store pickup.

Do you really think Apple releases new stuff in the middle of the night.

Maintenance it is.

New iPods on the anniversary of Steve's death?

I don't know, it's late and that was just a wild guess. But it would be an interesting way of commemorating him.

Would apple have some sort of event first? Or do they spontaneously do product refreshes sometimes?

Oh, right. Time zones do my head in

No worries, I have the same problems, about 12-14 hours ahead of the US.

 

[emma777]

I have read Apple UK and Apple Germany stores are all down.

Yeah same here. It's annoying because the release events take place at like 3 in the morning but anyway, that's probably a bit off topic

Just playing the devils advocate, but why are they doing Maintenance in the middle of the night? Maybe to prepare the website for new releases tomorrow?

I"m trying to do the same thing. I was pissed off when I got home and tried to get on their site.

Because that's the most suitable time to perform maintenance on a very busy server. Just think when most people will visit the store. For example in World of Warcraft, probably world's most popular online game, Blizzard (the game's creator) performs maintenance in European servers once per week starting 1.00 CET iirc. Usually it is a restart which takes 15 minutes, but it can take hours.

 

[GeeSixx]

I guess it turned out to be nothing interesting?

 

[Creibold]

It's still down in the US

 

[GeeSixx]

A minute ago I was able to see the store. Now it is down again. I'm in California.

 

[Creibold]

Interesting... I'm in Ohio myself.

Ditto.. FWIW.. no 32 or 64gb VZN iP5 in Los angeles, OC, San Diego or Las vegas..

 

[ixodes]

It's iPhone 6... Oh Yeah

Yeah I guess so, that sort of crossed my mind ;
