Apple's online store has temporarily closed its virtual doors ahead of today's WWDC (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/wwdc/) opening key**te at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

When clicking on the "Buy" button for any product on Apple's website, be it a MacBook (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/retina-macbook-air/) or accessories, the online store currently says "we're busy updating the Apple Store for you" and advises customers to "please check back soon."
During the key**te, Apple is expected to an**unce (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/06/02/what-to-expect-at-wwdc-2017/) updated 12-inch MacBook and MacBook Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/) models, alongside major new versions of its iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS software platforms.
Apple is also rumored to possibly debut a 10.5-inch iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/) and smart speaker (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/siri-speaker/) with Siri, positioned as an Amazon Echo and Google Home competitor, but those an**uncements could be delayed until later this year.
Apple routinely closes its online store in the hours leading up to its special events, but that's **t typically the case ahead of its Worldwide Developers Conference, since the key**te is usually focused on software only.
For that reason, the store's downtime today is a good sign that new products of some kind will be an**unced imminently.
WWDC has been absent of major hardware an**uncements since 2013 (https://www.macrumors.com/2013/06/10/live-coverage-of-apples-wwdc-2013-key**te/), when Apple unveiled redesigned models of the Mac Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/mac-pro/), MacBook Air (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-air/), and its AirPort Time Capsule (https://www.apple.com/compare-wifi-models/) and Extreme (https://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/) wireless routers.
MacRumors.com will be providing news coverage and a live transcript of the WWDC opening key**te on Monday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Twitter users can follow @MacRumorsLive (https://twitter.com/macrumorslive) for live updates.
Update: Apple's online store became functional again at approximately 5:10 a.m. Pacific Time, but only briefly as Apple fixed an earlier message that incorrectly said to check back starting at 8:01 a.m. Pacific Time.
