Apple Store Down for Updates

The Apple Store is currently down, which could signal that new Apple products are about to be launched.
The sign on the Store says “We’re busy updating the Apple Store for you and will be back soon.”
It’s interesting to note that the “Store Down” sign has changed significantly from the sign Apple used in the past couple of years. Furthermore, the sign seems to be slightly crooked — somewhat odd for Apple, a company known for perfectionism.
Recent rumors pointed to an update to Apple’s MacBook lineup. A couple of weeks ago, we heard that the new 15-inch MacBook might be a significant departure from the current design, with a retina display and an ultra-thin profile.
Another likely culprit for the store being down, however, is the Nest Learning Thermostat, which appeared in the store earlier today. Also, it’s possible that Apple is simply fixing technical glitches with the Store.
After the store comes back up, we’ll let you know if we see any changes.
