Other Apple services including Apple Music and Apple TV are now operating normally after a brief outage.
According to Apple’s own support system status website, Apple services — including Apple Music, Apple TV, the iTunes Store, and even the App Store — experienced a brief outage today, May 19, between 8:13 AM and 8:44 AM experienced. The website further indicated that the discrepancy affected “some users”, causing services to become slow and unreliable for them.
Fortunately, it appears that the outage has been resolved, and users are no longer reporting any issues.
Users also took to Twitter to express their frustration with their inability to access their favorite Apple services.
“Apple Music is down for the 1,000th time this year,” tweeted a user with the username jordanjens.
Several other users expressed frustration as well, with some even saying they would switch to Spotify if Apple services continued to experience frequent outages.
In related news, last month, Apple’s Weather app experienced significant downtime. We reported that the app was not working on iPhones and several other Apple products including Mac Studio and iPad. On opening the Weather app, users got a blank screen and no relevant weather data. Although the outage was eventually resolved, users continued to report sporadic downtime for days after the initial incident.
