The new iPads are said to be released tonight, and we could see the iPad Air 2, as well as the third-generation iPad Mini see the light. There’s huge anticipation, as always, hours before Apple kickstarts its even.

And now, by the looks of it the online Apple Store is down in advance of the iPad event. If you will visit now the online retail store, you will see the following image on your screen.

The page says: ‘we’ll be back. we’re busy updating the Appe Store for you and will be back soon’. The the message starts appearing in various languages, as well.

This probably means that Apple has taken the page down as it’s busy setting up ‘the room’ for the new iPads.

Or, obviously, there could be problems with the servers because of the overload caused by many visitors.

But, as the event is just a few hours away, it seems that interest surrounding the new iPads is growing relentlessly.

Besides the new iPads, updated Macs and the unveiling of then next operating system – OS X Yosemite, are also said to be on the cards.

We’ll be keeping the eye on the Apple Store and will update this on the go as soon as we see it go live!
