Apple Store is Down!

It has been a while since Apple’s Online Store has gone down for maintenance, but tonight, it greets us once more with its cheerful “we’ll be back!” teaser.

Will Apple surprise us all with something new, or are they just working on the site? The timing suggests it is probably maintenance – but only time will tell. We’ll let you know if we see anything new when it comes back up!

Update: As Mark Gurman pointed out on Twitter, the Apple Store is likely down to prepare for T-Mobile iPhone pre-orders.

Update 2: While T-Mobile did start taking iPhone 5 pre-orders last night, there’s still no mention of it on Apple’s website. However, they did add a great new scrollable iPad interface!
