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.
Apple often takes its online store down ahead of its media events as a way of generating hype ahead of new products and accessories. It should come back online moments after Apple's keynote ends.

(View all)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.
Whattttt are you guys even saying in this thread?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.
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.
