Apple Store Goes Down Ahead of WWDC 2017 Keynote; New iPad and MacBook Models Expected

And it's down. As is tradition before any hardware launch, Apple pulls down the Apple Store to update it with information about all the new products. The last time this happened was in March this year, just head of the launch of the new iPad (2017) and the iPhone 7 (PRODUCT) RED models.

At its WWDC 2017 keynote address, scheduled to kick off at 10:00am PDT (10:30pm IST), Apple is expected to unveil more than just the next versions of its operating systems. Thus, apart from iOS 11, macOS 10.13, watchOS 4, and tvOS 11, fans can expect some hardware announcements from the Cupertino giant.
