The Apple Store has officially gone offline, a customary move signaling that preorder availability for the new iPhone duo is imminent. Visitors to the website are currently greeted with Apple's traditional placeholder message indicating that updates are underway.
Taking down the digital storefront allows Apple's backend engineers to adjust product listings, update pricing interfaces, and prepare server capacity for the substantial influx of traffic that traditionally accompanies a major iPhone launch.
Shoppers planning to participate in the preorder rush are advised to have their account settings, payment methods, and shipping addresses verified so they can complete checkout swiftly once the system comes back online.
