As always on a day when pre-orders for major devices are due to start, Apple has temporarily closed its online store and will reopen for 5am Pacific, 8am Eastern, when it will take orders for the iPhone 15.
Apple Store is down
As usual, Apple has taken down the entire Apple Store and replaced it with a sign saying, “We can’t wait either.” The store will now stay down for many hours before it reopens in time for preorders — or, typically, up to a couple of minutes later.
