Just six hours before the much-anticipated iPhone 16 launch event, the Apple Store website has gone down.

This temporary outage is a common occurrence as Apple prepares to unveil its latest products.

Visitors trying to access the Apple Store are greeted with a message that says, “Be right back. We’re making updates to the Apple Store. Check back soon.” The downtime page features a sleek blue and pink Apple logo, matching the design of Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event invitation. The event is set to take place today at 10:00 AM PT (18:00 BST) in Cupertino, California.

Although Apple has not officially announced the iPhone 16 yet, the company has a history of revealing a new iPhone every year for over a decade. Four models of the iPhone 16 are expected to be unveiled: the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. These models are anticipated to come in a variety of colors.

One of the exciting new features expected in the iPhone 16 is a new button on the right side of the device, which could be particularly appealing to selfie enthusiasts.
