Apple’s online storefront has been down before the main event of the World Developers Conference, which is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time.
It’s been a few years since Apple launched new hardware at WWDC, but the fact that the store is down suggests that we may see some new devices today. Apple usually closes the online store in the hours leading up to special events where new products are expected.

MacRumors.com will provide news coverage and a live WWDC conference account. Twitter users can also follow @MacRumorsLive for live updates.
