Apple Confirms Some Users Currently Unable to Access the App Store, Apple Music, and iTunes [Updated]

by

We're seeing an increasing number of reports across Reddit and Twitter from iOS 11 users who have been unable to access Apple services such as the App Store, Apple Music, and iTunes since as early as Thursday morning.

Apple's system status page does not yet reflect any issues with any of its services beyond Group FaceTime being temporarily unavailable.

The underlying cause is unclear. We'll update if we learn more.

Updated: Apple's system status page now acknowledges that some users "may be unable to access" or make purchases on the ‌App Store‌ and iTunes, while ‌Apple Music‌ may be "unavailable or slow" for some users.

I am having a different issue. I am on iOS 12 and some of my apps (Skype) keep saying I need to update them even though I keep updating them.
Same issue with Skype and Telegram. They tell it is on Apple severs side. It continues more than 24 hours at this moment.

To fix group facetime, we needed to disable all software and hardware older than one year. Luckily, the new iPhone is our best one yet and is available for purchase online or at your nearest Apple community engagement center (previously "store").
