Apple shuts down its Online Stores!

The Apple shut its online store on on Monday approximately around 4a.m. stating the reason as the requirement for updating the site with new products scheduled to debut at a press event starting at 10 a.m. PT. However the company also promised its reopening shortly.

We can't wait to show you what we have in store.
Our virtual doors are just about to open. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and your patience as we work to get everyone in as quickly as possible. Keep checking back, because it won't be long now.

Adding to the above stated message it also said that the users can check the current products and services however purchase requests for the same will not be allowed. Revealing all the new items the company is expected to return once the event is over.

There has been considerable drop in the sale of iPhone and the iPad as the customers are attracted to the low-budget phones from the Apple's rivals Samsung, LG and now the China's Huawei. Concentrating on this fact Apple is going to launch a smaller-screened and lower-cost iPhone. In the case of iPad Apple is trying to drum up interest in its customers by introducing additional features in its business-oriented iPad Pro, including the new Smart Keyboard and the Apple Pencil stylus.

However the company still remains mum about sales of its first smartwatch. When the party research firms are considered it is said that the device has scooped up a huge chunk of the wearables market. Apple is also launching a variety of colors for the watch and an updated watchOS is also expected. This software which runs on Apple Watches has been updated to enable multiple watches addition to a single iPhone and also an improvised AppleMaps has been added.
