Tuesday Surprise

[Airforcekid]

APPLE STORE is DOWN!

Wonder whats coming maybe just an small update?

 

[dalvin200]

is it still down?

uk store is still down yes...

i predict a riot... lol.. i guess like most folks, the latest rumours have been xserves and 2tb time capsules.. so nothing too exciting (for me anyways)

 

[Icaras]

the joy of pure unadulterated speculation

20" ACD

You will be my hero if that comes true. I'm really hoping Apple does not EOL the 20".

 

[FrancoZ]

probably 2tb time machine, maybe xserve?

yeah, probably xserves and 2TB time capsules. but maybe that means 10.5.7 also?

 

[sammich]

30" LED Display. I can dream right?

good point.. .it's also nearing release (so i last read)... so probably...

Why? If it was new content then if the site is properly configured it would just be a case of updating information on a database and the next request would get the new data. Even with different servers for each country it wouldn't be too difficult to synchronise. Could you imagine the BBC or CNN doing this to their site everytime a new story came along?

They use a completely different way of doing it.

Apple can' use this way because then they wouldn't be able to let you pay or anything.

 

[Airforcekid]

Probably for the 2TB Time Capsule?

Possible but unlikly.

 

[twoodcc]

i bet something is coming though. this is the usual time the store is down and something new is out

 

[Airforcekid]

Hate that picture but in a way I love it like christmas morning!

 

[007bond]

I just want the ati chip on the imac and I'm happy

 

[ditzy]

This feels rather unexpected, I wouldn't have thought that xserve and/or 2tb Time Capsule would be worth closing the store for. But if it was anything really news worthy there would have been a keynote.

My favourite pipedream? Better GPU options for the Mac Pro. Perhaps discontinuing the GT120 and replacing it with a GT130 or HD4670 and giving a free one to existing users. Lowering the price of the 512MB HD4870 and adding a 1GB HD4890 or 1GB GTX285 high-end option and adding back a Quadro with the FX5800.

In more realistic speculation, I always thought today would be the Tuesday for 10.5.7. Not sure what hardware they could be releasing though.

 

[bristleworm]

The german store is down as well. Typically they go live again around UTC 12:30.

By the way variable pricing is not yet enabled in the german itms.

Thats strange. Better come up soon!

 

[fleshman03]

1) New TC (Well not new, just spec bumped...)
2) New xServe
3) New iPhone?


4) ha 2 #3, but 1 & 2 seem plausible.

 

[Airforcekid]
