Apple website down for some users, others unable to view images

Typically, Apple makes the website inaccessible before a product launch. Since Apple just launched the new iPhone 14, it appears their website is going through some real errors.

Apple's official website is facing issues. The problem is affecting India-specific website and other countries as well. At first, the website is still loading; however, some images fail to load. Whereas, some users are simply seeing '403 forbidden errors'. Typically, Apple makes the website inaccessible before a product launch. Since Apple just launched the new iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8, and AirPods Pro 2, it appears their website is going through some real errors.

At the moment, Apple is yet to clarify what's causing the error on its site. This comes nearly a week after the Apple Store servers were down in some locations, right after the start of the iPhone 14 pre-orders. At that time, customers were unable to complete the checkout or trade-in process.

Similarly, the current error may trouble some customers who are planning to pre-book the new iPhone 14 variants. The iPhone 14, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max will go on sale tomorrow, September 16. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Plus, which is a replacement for the iPhone mini models, will go on sale next month.

Otherwise, if you want to buy old iPhones in India, they are available on e-commerce sites like Flipkart and Amazon.
