From CNET: Apple's online store is closed for business right now. But don't worry, it's not a glitch. That's Apple's standard process as it gets ready to unveil new products.
Apple shut down its online store early Wednesday morning in advance of its latest press event scheduled for 10 a.m. PT. Apple shuts down its store before each major event. As usual, a message on the company's Apple Store page says: "We'll be back. We're busy updating the Apple Store for you and will be back soon."
You can still browse the overall website to check out Apple's different products and services; you just can't buy anything. The store usually returns to life soon after the event is over, displaying all the new products up for sale.
Apple typically introduces its newest iPhones in September, followed by another event in October for the iPad. This year, though, it looks like Apple will use September to showcase both of its mobile devices.
