With Apple's online stores around the world going down for maintenance earlier today and a flood of MacRumors readers reporting the event, observers were of course curious about what changes were being made, despite the fact that no new product releases were expected.
When the stores went live again, it was not immediately apparent that there had been any changes, suggesting that the downtime may have simply been for behind-the-scenes changes or details so minor as to have escaped notice.
One very minor change did not, however, slip by the folks at Apple Bitch, who noticed that Apple quietly added a "Returns" link to the footer of all pages within the stores. The "Returns & Refunds" page itself does not appear to have changed, so it appears that Apple simply wanted to make access to the information more prominent.
