I had stopped following that page as they so rarely update it when there are issues.
I rely on you guys to tell me when to actually check it, so thanks!
The number of impacted services per Apple’s status page has also expanded from what was originally listed, indicating it’s a widespread issue affecting many different apps and services.
Earlier today, there was a separate outage issue that impacted Apple’s business users, with Apple Business Essentials, Apple Business Manager, and Apple School Manager all affected.
Those issues were marked by Apple as resolved around 2:30 p.m. However, it’s possible the new outages have a related root cause.
