Apple's App Stores, Some iCloud Services Experiencing Temporary Outage

Thursday June 2, 2016 2:19 pm PDT by Juli Clover
According to Apple's system status page, multiple store services are currently experiencing an outage. The App Store, Apple TV App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes in the Cloud, and the Volume Purchase Program are unavailable for some users.

The outage started just after 12:30 p.m., and we have also heard reports of problems with Apple Music and Apple News, though those are not service outages currently listed on the system status page.

Update 3:40: The App Stores and some Apple services are back online, but iCloud Backup, iCloud Drive, Mail Drop, Photos, and a few other service remain offline.

I don't expect online services to be perfect, but this happens several times per year. When was the last time you've heard about Google having s system outage?

- Siri, turn right.
- Are you sure you want to turn left?
- Right, Siri, right!
- I'm sorry but I can't 'fight'. I'm just a smart digital assistant, you know.
- Siri, just stop the car here and let me out.
- Ok, I'm googling for you "stop the car here and let me out". Here are the first 5000 results.

Google Sheets was out about a week ago. Drive and Gmail had a couple of outages in April. If you follow a 'news' site which is desperate for any news about Apple (especially news which incites lively commentary) then you're going to get a very skewed outlook on the world.
