Apple’s order status web page is down this week-end for maintenance. If you attempt to check the status of an existing order you’ll see the above message displayed for all online stores across the globe.
The downtime is probably linked to the rumors circulating about a revamped Apple Store starting on May 22nd.
Don’t get to excited about anything super special happening for Apple retail’s 10th anniversary, since Apple has been quiet about that. It looks like the only changes made will be updates to internal systems and the store layout.
However, I might swing by my local Apple Store on Sunday to see what’s up just in case.
