Apple's Online Store Goes Down Ahead of Today's iPhone Event
Apple has taken its online store down ahead of its "By Innovation Only" event today at Steve Jobs Theater, where the company is widely expected to unveil new iPhone and Apple Watch models.
Beyond that, wild cards include a 10.2-inch iPad, a new Apple TV, an iPad Pro refresh, a 16-inch MacBook Pro, and Apple's rumored Tile-like item tracking tags, but some of these products may be reserved for an October event, which Apple has held in two out of the last three years.
Alongside hardware announcements, Apple should provide release dates for iOS 13, macOS Catalina, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13 by the end of tomorrow, either during its keynote or on its website. Apple may also detail pricing and availability for its upcoming Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade services.

I don't care what anybody says, this is still one of the most exciting days of the year for me. Apple has done a superb job at making the iPhone my most personal material possession. No matter how "lame" or "underwhelming" the updates might be, I'm still going to buy it because it's simply the latest and greatest and I'd want nothing less for myself.

It’s 2019 Apple. No need to take the store down for updates.
It hypes people up. Also makes them wait to see the new products before they decide to buy the old generation.

You're not. I'm with you there.
I don't think Apple themselves are, this year, like 2016 iPhone 7, is just a stepping stone, a 'meh' year. 2020 is the year of new stuff.
Whattttt are you guys even saying in this thread?
I can’t wait for some of y’all to come back during the keynote and say “well that’s pretty cool”.
The Apple fans are few and far between on this site smh.

Do you really think they need to do this? Its part of the cult, a nice tradition ... they did this since the earl days. I appreciate that they still do it, too bad they no longer use the old post it for it.

Please, please, please untether the Apple Watch from the iPhone. Or, at least give us the option to tether an AW to an iPad rather than an iPhone.
I know, wishful thinking.
