Apple store is down, new iMac and iPad could be on their way

Apple Store is down, and you know what that (usually) means: New Apple hardware. 

And while Apple hasn’t officially announced any new hardware, there are a few hints that point to the company refreshing its iMac and iPad lineup of products. 

On March 25, Apple is having an event that’s unlikely to be hardware focused; the company will probably launch new subscription services instead. 

But Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman tweeted on Sunday that new iPad and iMac announcements this week would “make a real statement about how much it wants to focus its March 25th event on its news and video services.”

If Apple indeed launches a new iMac today, don’t expect a major redesign — Gurman said it’s not happening, and it’s unlikely Apple would do it without a proper event. 

Even if we don’t see major updates, some of the new hardware could be interesting. Apple’s iMac hasn’t been updated in a while. On the iPad front, Apple has been long rumored to be updating its aging iPad mini with a better processor, and a new entry-level, 10-inch iPad could be on its way as well. 

Finally, new AirPods and possibly even the belated AirPower wireless charger could be coming, too.
