If it’s an Apple event, you know it’s part of the excitement when the online store goes down just hours before a product launch.

Apple’s Gather Round event is all set to take place in a couple of hours and the online store is already down. Obviously, the reason for the downtime is a simple one: Apple is adding listings for its upcoming products which includes the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, iPhone Xr, Apple Watch Series 4, hopefully the AirPower Qi wireless charger and the wireless charging case for the AirPods which we were promised ages ago.
