The Apple Store is currently closed. Apple typically closes the Apple store prior to launching new products, or changing the price of products.
Apple typically closes the Apple store on a Tuesday morning, although it closed the store recently on Sunday 3 May, although this closure was not followed by any product or price adjustments. Last week only EU stores were closed, whereas today all stores including the US store are down.
Many Macworld readers are hoping for a price reduction, in order to make the current Apple range more competitive to netbooks. There are also rumours of new Apple products in the pipeline, such as the Media Pad and new iPhones.
It is unlikely that new products will be launched on a Sunday, although price adjustments remain a possibility. We will keep an eye on the situation and inform you of any changes once the store reappears.
Update: The store returned at mid-day Sunday with no new products or price readjustments.
