   Apple says online store will "be updated" overnight as new products   
   anticipated   
      
   Zac Hall   
      
   While this could turn out to be nothing at all, there's an interesting   
   detail on Apple's system status page: the Apple Online Store is scheduled to go   
   down tomorrow from 12:00 am to 5:30 am PT. Apple's online store typically goes   
   offline for several hours ahead of product refreshes.   
      
   Apple cites scheduled maintenance for the offline period, as MacRumors first   
   pointed out, but the page specifies that the Apple Online Store "will be   
   updated" which could mean either backend components or new product pages.   
      
   With so many products due to be updated at any point, the speculation that   
   this could mean new product releases is warranted. Without specifying which   
   products, MacRumors reported last week that trusted "supply chain analysts"   
   believe Apple will release something new as soon as this week.   
      
   Apple has typically held a spring event in March to unveil new hardware and   
   some have suggested such an event could take place in April this year instead.   
      
   Rumored new products include both 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch iPads as well as a   
   rumored 10.5-inch model with new design. The current sizes are expected to be   
   a minor refresh which may not warrant an event, however, while the new size   
   would surely need stage time to present.   
      
   A red version of the iPhone 7 and a higher capacity iPhone SE are also   
   expected. As we mentioned last week, a new color mid-cycle would be a first   
   for the iPhone, so a press release without an event wouldn’t be surprising.   
   Upgrading the iPhone SE to offer 128GB of storage is also a minor update.   
      
   Macs including both Retina iMacs and even the 12-inch MacBook are due for   
   updates as well (not to mention the 2013 Mac Pro and 2014 Mac mini).   
      
   Last week the first signs of a new Apple TV running tvOS 11 was also spotted,   
   although the new software version would likely not be revealed until WWDC   
   2017.
