Apple appears to have taken its Store offline as it gets ready for WWDC 2022.

WWDC stands for Worldwide Developers Conference.
Apple should be launching some new products at the event.
We could also see new software for lots of Apple gadgets.
Rumors have hinted at a virtual reality headset reveal but nothing has been confirmed yet.
It’s unclear exactly when the Apple Store will be back online but the tech giant says to “check back after the event”.
The App Store is still available so you can still update your current devices.
It’s likely Apple will bring its Store back when WWDC announcements are over.
It usually puts any new gadgets up straight away even if you can only preorder them.

What is Apple WWDC 2022?
WWDC is Apple’s yearly developer convention, where app makers gather in huge numbers.
Apple also uses the event to make major announcements about its products.
The event usually attracts thousands of visitors, but 2020 marked the first time WWDC was virtual-only.
And the 2021 WWDC event followed suit with an exclusively online experience.
Apple’s 2022 will also be mostly virtual, but with a special limited-capacity event.
“Apple will host a special day for developers and students at Apple Park on June 6 to watch the keynote and State of the Union videos together, along with the online community,” Apple said.
“Space will be limited, and details about how to apply to attend will be provided on the Apple Developer site and app soon.”
Apple hasn’t confirmed exactly what we’ll see at WWDC.
But the event will almost certainly introduce iOS 16.
That’s the next big update for our iPhones, which will introduce a host of new features for free.
