Apple services have experienced multiple instances of downtime in recent months, including a prolonged App Store and iTunes outage in early March, and subsequent downtime in late March, followed by a TestFlight outage for developers in May. Apple has historically been rather slow at updating it system status page to reflect any ongoing issues, usually doing so several minutes after issues begin.
Update 9:09 AM Pacific: iCloud services have been restored for some users.

(View all)smh there seems to be a problem with their internet services every other week
If it only happens once every 2 weeks, that's pretty good. Probably one of the better cloud service out there.Google had a 43 minute outage back in March.

And a worse one back in February - 2 hours and 40 minutes

They all have outages. Apple's just get reported more.
Oh snap. I really hope this is just a small outage and not another instance where iCloud got hacked.
Did iCloud get hacked? Did I miss that?Unless of course you mean the celeb thing recently where people used rubbishy simple passwords that got guessed which could happen on any system......
