Apple is experiencing several outages and has confirmed this on its website. Thousands of reports of problems are flooding in for Apple Maps, Apple Music, and several of the tech giant’s other apps and sites.
The outage is global with users experiencing issues in both the US and UK. According to Apple’s System Status page, the tech giant is experiencing outages with the App Store,
Apple Arcade, Apple Business Manager, Apple Music, iCloud, iTunes, Apple TV, and more. Downdetector is also highlighting issues with other popular apps like Apple Maps, iMessage and Apple Find my iPhone. The problems seem to be due to Apple’s servers.
According to CNBC, In some cases, an app like the App Store will load but will hang or won’t let you download an app. In other cases, the app won’t load altogether.
It’s not clear what’s causing the outage and an Apple spokesperson declined to comment. Bloomberg said the outage is impacting Apple’s internal services for corporate and retail employees, too, and has “hindered product repairs, swaps, and item pickups.”
