Customers in the United States could not access the Apple Online Store recently, and a placeholder message stating that the business is "making adjustments" to its website was displayed.
However, the online store is now fully operational, and the tech giant is currently giving new Apple TV buyers a $50 gift card.
SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE - SEPTEMBER 24: An Apple logo is reflected on glass at the Apple Store at Orchard Road on September 24, 2021 in Singapore. Apple announced September 14 the release of four variants of its latest iPhone 13, alongside other upgrades to its product lineup.
Is There A New Apple Product Coming Soon?
Apple did not provide any information regarding the arrival of these changes to the Apple Online Store, but according to 9to5Mac, the start of pre-orders for the M2 MacBook Air could be one explanation. The tech company typically shuts down its website before launching a new line of products.
Despite Apple's promise that it would arrive in stores somewhere in July, the new M2 MacBook Air was unveiled at WWDC 2022 in June.
9to5Mac reported that according to a recent source, pre-orders would likely start taking place before the 2017 MacBook Air's sales launch on July 15. The new 13-inch MacBook Pro, including the M2 chip, hit the shelves last week.
However, 9to5Mac also noted that no speculations are circulating regarding other new Apple devices arriving soon. Their report further pointed out that the Apple Online Store was offline a week before the new M1 iPad Pro pre-orders last year.
Since the online store is finally in full operation, perhaps the website was only under maintenance, or it was simply upgrading some of its internal website functionalities. As of now, the online store has not introduced any new products that are up for sale.
Notably, just the US Apple Online Store was unavailable. Customers in other countries were still able to use the official website and app to reach the Apple Store. You can take a look at the online store's status here.
New Apple Products This Coming Fall
However, this doesn't mean that the company will not be releasing any new products soon. In fact, it has a slate of new devices that are expected to hit the shelves later this year.
According to Macworld, among those upcoming Apple products are - the iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8,10th-gen iPad, Apple Watch SE, iPad Pro, AirPods Pro, HomePod, mixed-reality headset, new Macs, and many more!
Macworld reported that these products could be on sale this coming fall.
