Apple Music, TV+, other services were down

Apple's system status page showed 11 outages across its services including Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, and the App Store.

Starting at 6:31 p.m. eastern on Wednesday, Apple acknowledged a widespread outage across multiple cloud services and systems. Outages seem to make the affected services completely unavailable to users. The outage was resolved at 7:35 p.m. eastern.
