       Apple Store down ahead of iPhone 5 preorders
       The Apple Store is currently down, as iPhone 5-hungry consumers
       get ready to place preorders for the next-generation
       smartphone.As is tradition before major Apple releases, visitors
       to the online store looking to purchase phones, MP3 players, or
       Macs are instead greeted with a message saying, "We'll be back."
       The downtime allows Apple to retool the site for the new product
       -- in this case, the much-anticipated iPhone 5.The new phone,
       which was unveiled yesterday at an event in San Francisco, will
       feature a 4-inch Retina display and support for 4G LTE service.
       The iPhone 5 is expected to hit consumers' hands on September
       21.In addition to Apple's online store, the iPhone 5 is also
       available for preorder starting tomorrow morning at Wal-Mart,
       which is selling the long-awaited phone for $189.97, as opposed
       to the $199 price tag offered by Apple. The company also
       revealed its prices for unlocked iPhones -- devices unencumbered
       by carrier contracts -- although those offers are not expected
       to be available to consumers for a few weeks.See CNET's full
       coverage of Apple's iPhone 5 event
