Reply to comment by Crypty in Apple Store goes down as Tim Cook teases looming iPad Pro announcement: ‘Take Note’ by prehistoric_knight

They need to update their web app servers for this

Also, yes, there's hype and it's worth the revenue hit

There’s no technical reason why a website (especially one run by a tech giant) needs to be brought down for an update. In mid+ sized companies there is often a team dedicated to this because downtime is just that costly.

I was about to say, I’ve done this on my own servers so I can’t possibly see how apple couldn’t. Also they update their website in real time all the time. When I bought my MBP one second the website didn’t know of its existence, the next it did.
