Apple online store is DOWN!!

[niuniu]

Wow! UK store is back up, with new Annandale Macbook Pros!

 

[mickbab]

It's Thursday so I doubt there will be something new... Finland's store is down as well

surely with so many down at the same time this could be something even though it isn't Tuesday!

This isn't out of the ordinary (in regards to all the stores being down), they always take down all the stores at the same time when they are updating things.

 

[uaecasher]

sounds like a long shot but maybe they'll add Snow Leopard for pre-order?

I wish...

same here, i don't think it's maintenance they took long time for a maintenance

Do you think that it could be tablet time? Or perhaps just a bump to the imacs?

Nah. My guess it that they add Snow Leopard to store so you can pre-order it.

If its anything like youtube maintence it will take bloody ages.


I actually know the guy responsible for Apple Asia ecommerce ... but he wouldn't tell me anything

exactly what I was thinking, Windows 7 was made available to preorder a couple of days ago. Seems reasonale for Apple to do the same.

It's the iPhone 4G!!!!!

 

[svndmvn]

definitely nothing major, maybe software or Apple Cinema Display, mice and whatnot
There have been a couple of updates on thursdays this year, I believe..
Could still be maintenance

 

[mickbab]

It's the iPhone 4G!!!!!

The S in iPhone 3GS was for Speedy Departure.
Bring on the new one!

 

[ditzy]

Well hoping it is something good, I think that maintenance normally happens on Sundays. But hey that's probably all it is.

 

[Gumbercules]

how long is the store usually down for?

 

[stridemat]

I have known it to be the entire evening before. I had a tab open and kept refreshing it once. After a couple of hours all that was updated was the free ipod advert.

Sad I know

 

[Chundles]

Nah. My guess it that they add Snow Leopard to store so you can pre-order it.

Hey that's a pretty good guess. I'll second you.

 

[cjacks68]

Maybe it'll turn out to be something exciting. Probably not though. SL pre-order seems like a pretty good guess.

 

[Gumbercules]

snow leopard pre-order seems reasonable, however does anyone think that this could be a matte screen option for the 13 and 15 mbp's?

Ah I couldn't care less about matte but it would be nice to settle down the crowds here!

 

[talkingfuture]

Didn't expect this, are they trying to surprise us with thursday updates?

 

[GodWhomIsMike]

Back up, omg omg omg, updated iMacs and Minis, better graphics on the iMacs and they had a price drop, and the Mini got a higher end model with the 512MB 9600M GT video on it.....


























































just kidding... It's still down. LOL!!!

 

[mickbab]

DAMN! I believed you all along!

 

[GodWhomIsMike]

That because it could make sense. The 9400M and GT100 series video cards employed on the iMacs now are woefully outdated. Nvidia released their 200M series video a month ago, boasting that they are significantly faster than the previous generation of GT100 series cards.
The Mini could probably easily accommodate Apple soldering on a 9600M GT GPU and some memory chips. a 200M series GPU in the Mini would be awesome, and I would probably break out with the credit card today.

pffft. Better be more exciting than that...

 

[GodWhomIsMike]

The store has been down for what, almost 2 hours now? Seems a bit long, no?

No I didn't have a problem with the specs but sorry to spoil your fun...I can see the Apple Site too!

hahaha I can just see all the Network admins at the apple HQ laughing thier asses off at us while they fix some little bug or implement a new type of gallery for products.

But in all seriousness, its usually even longer during WWDC's, yeah?

Yeah, they're actually not doing anything at all. They just take it down to watch us squirm
