According to the outage tracking website Downdetector.com, services also including the support service and Apple store were down for thousands. More than 3,300 users reported problems with streaming Apple Music at the outage’s peak, while nearly 2,200 reported issues with App Store in the United States.
Apple’s status page indicated that Apple Music Radio, Apple Music, and iTunes Match faced an ongoing “outage.” The status page showed that iPhone users were reportedly encountering problems with Apple News.
Apple didn’t immediately respond to the Reuters request for comment regarding the condition of the outage and whether other services were impacted, as indicated by Downdetector.
