Apple is hours away from revealing a bunch of iOS news at the company's WWDC 2022 keynote later today, and the Apple Store has drawn a curtain on its homepage.

As has become tradition ahead of major Apple news dump events, the company's online store has a mysteriously empty homepage ahead of Monday's Worldwide Developer Conference while updates are being made.

Currently, the store simply shows the event's promotional image and the placeholder words, "Developing news," and confirming the company is "making updates to the Apple Store."
