It is worth noting that the current downtime of its online store of Apple is not affecting all users globally. Instead, the website is only down in a select number of countries.
Apple Online Store Goes Down
According to the latest news story by Mac Rumors, the Apple Online Store is down in European nations like Spain, Germany, and France.
It is on top of territories like Australia, the US, the UK, and Canada.
It means that the e-commerce platform of the Cupertino-based tech giant is rendered inaccessible for its users trying to access the online store in these countries.
On the other hand, non-affected countries could still visit the online version of the Apple Store without any hiccups, allowing them to browse various products and check them out seamlessly.
However, in locations where the Apple Online Store is currently down, visitors of the website could only see a huge "Be right back" notice.
Why is Apple Store Down?
The renowned tech giant says that they are "making updates to the Apple Store," asking its visitors to "check back soon."
But despite that, Mac Rumors notes that it remains to be seen which update Apple is working on that it had to put its online store offline.
It is still unclear if the current downtime of the Apple Online Store is some sort of maintenance or rather a more exciting update.
It could likely be a rollout of a new bargain offer, which its customers could access once the Apple Online Store gets back to its feet.
But it could also be merely a redesign of the online store website, or other some other kind of update.
