Apple took down its online store on Tuesday without citing any specific reasons, except that it was making updates with a standard Be Right Back message.
Speculations arose, but most suspected it was due to a scheduled maintenance that brought the page offline at 3:50 p.m. PST on Tuesday, per MacRumors. After about an hour, Apple sprung the page back to life again, revealing the real reason behind its outage: a revamped design.
