Apple's official website was down on September 15 due to some technical issues, causing trouble in accessing the official website of the company. The issue was being experienced by some users all around the world. Some users complained that though they were able to access the website but certain images were not loading, while others reported seeing '403 forbidden errors.' Apple has not yet released any statement on the matter yet. However, as the website was down, people were also facing difficulty in placing orders for the recently launched iPhone 14 Series. It can be noted that Apple's website and App Store are currently working fine.

Several users took to Twitter to inform about the outage. "The Apple website is going 403, and the Apple UK site is 404. This is where they announce that the iPhone 14 announcement wasn't complete and that it actually includes USB-C and 100W fast charge /s," one of the Twitter user tweeted. Here are some of the tweets informing about the issue:

1. "Something seems to be different with Apple here this evening."

2. "Hey @Apple, 404's are no bueno."

3. "I didn't know (or didn't remember) this. Found on Stackexchange. Of course the Apple Knowledge Base article it links to is now 404…"

4. "https://apple.com/ios/ios-16/features/ is throwing a 404 error. Looks like Apple wants to keep the features hidden?"

It can be noted that the higher variants of iPhone 14 series, which include the iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max along with iPhone 14, will be available for purchase from today, September 16. Earlier the phones were available for pre-order. Apple launched iPhone 14 series on Wednesday, September 7 along with Apple Watch Series 8, Watch Ultra, Watch SE, and AirPods Pro 2.
