Apple Store Goes Down Ahead of Today's Special Event, Expected Debut of Apple Silicon Macs

The online Apple Store is down ahead of today special event at which the company is expected to unveil new MacBooks with custom Apple Silicon.

Apple announced the transition from Intel to its own custom ARM-based processors earlier this year:

Apple is designing a family of SoCs for the Mac. This will give the Mac industry-leading performance per watt and higher performance GPUs — enabling app developers to write even more powerful pro apps and high-end games. And access to technologies such as the Neural Engine will make the Mac an amazing platform for developers to use machine learning. This will also create a common architecture across all Apple products, making it far easier for developers to write and optimize software for the entire Apple ecosystem.


We will be covering Apple's 'One More Thing' special event starting at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET. You can follow along with our live blog here.
