Apple Store goes down ahead of four-day ‘shopping event.’ across Europe
“We’ll be right back.” Apple has taken down its online stores across Europe, with users trying to access the site through Apple.com and the official Apple Store app on iOS seeing the familiar roadblock used ahead of the launch of new hardware and store changes.
It’s likely the online stores have been taken down ahead of Apple’s four-day ‘shopping event.’ which as seen in Australia and New Zealand offer customers purchasing select Apple hardware free Apple Store gift cards with their purchases.
Apple’s Black Friday through Cyber Monday ‘shopping event.’ will likely be mirrored across all countries and regions, with the company offering gift cards towards future purchases when buying either an Phone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPad mini 4, Apple Watch Series 3, MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, 5K iMac, iMac Pro, or 4K/non-4K Apple TV model.
