Though many details are still pending, Apple’s status website has been updated to show an increasing number of outages affecting most of Apple’s major consumer services, including its feature-dense Apple Music and TV+ television streaming platforms and Apple Arcade, the subscription service that lets subscribers access games at no additional charge. While outages are fairly common among some big tech companies, Apple is typically not among them. It’s unclear how long the outage may last, but until it is resolved, there’s nothing users can do.
While the outages have hit multiple Apple products, some remain fully functional at the time of writing — for example, the App Store accessible via the Vision Pro headset is still listed as operational, as is iCloud Mail, Apple Pay, the Apple Online Store, HomeKit, iWork, and the iTune Store. It is possible these services could experience disruptions while the issue is being resolved, however.
