Apple Pay, Apple Card, and Apple Cash Experiencing Issues [Resolved]

Apple Pay, Apple Card, and Apple Cash are currently experiencing issues for some users, according to Apple's system status page.

Apple Pay Feature
The page notes that some users are experiencing unspecified issues with Apple Pay, while some Apple Card and Apple Cash features may not be available to some users right now. Apple ensures that purchases made with the Apple Card and Apple Cash will continue to be unaffected as it investigates the issues and works to implement a fix.

The issues began just before 7:30 a.m. Pacific Time today, according to the page. We'll update this story when the issues are marked as resolved.

The issues come on the same day as Apple Pay launched in a few additional countries, including Guatemala and El Salvador, according to @aaronp613. First launched in the U.S. in 2014, Apple Pay is now available in around 70 countries and regions.

Two other related features that recently launched are Apple Pay Later for financing purchases and Apple Card Savings for earning interest on Daily Cash.

Update: Apple says the issues have been resolved.

Probably not related but I couldn't schedule my card payment for a future date on Sunday. Monday I was able. Just thought I would share.

Tried to order coffee on the Peet's app this morning via Apple Pay (with my Apple Card) and it kept giving me "Payment Failed". I thought it was something on Peet's end.

Happened to me trying to order lunch with the Toast app. Rebooted my phone, all fine.

That's when you use Apple's Buy Now, Pay Later feature ;)

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I carry a wallet with actual cards and actual cash. Never had a problem unless the store's POS system was down. Hence the cash.
