The Apple Store has gone down ahead of Apple’s latest media event at 10 AM PDT today. Apple is widely expected to announce two new iPhones and a brand new wearable device. Interestingly, Apple has finally dropped the linen from its ‘We’ll be back’ page, finally modernizing it with a post-iOS 7 stark white design.

When the store goes back up, it will likely include information about Apple’s latest announcements. Information about preorders for the new phones is not known. If Apples follows its traditional patterns, the iPhone 6 should be available for preorder this coming Friday, with a launch a week later. Meanwhile, the iWatch is not expected to be available for sale anytime soon.

Although the Apple Store going down is a staple element of proceedings for Apple events, Apple has been hyping this event more than usual. Apple is featuring a live countdown to 10 AM on its homepage. Stay tuned to 9to5Mac for all the info from the event!

    The moment we’ve all been waiting for, not the web site going down but the iPhone in General

    Apple skipped its usual pattern last year and did not offer pre-orders for the new device. I wonder if they will do the same this year or go back to offering pre-orders.

  4. I bet it’s going to be called iWear and not iWatch
