- The Apple App Store and Apple Music both appear to be down for many users on Tuesday night.
- Apple says that it’s aware of and investigating the issues.
The Apple App Store appears to be down for iPhone users on Tuesday night, just days before the Black Friday shopping event. Apple Music also appears to be impacted by the problems.
Business Insider could not access the App Store or Apple’s music services from several devices at the time of writing.
On its system status dashboard, Apple acknowledges the problem, saying that the issues began at 5:20 P.M. PST.
“Users are experiencing a problem with the App Store. We are investigating and will update the status as more information becomes available,” writes Apple.
The dashboard also indicates that users might also be having problems with Apple Music. “Users may be unable to access multiple services or make purchases,” writes Apple. We’ve reached out to Apple for more information and will update when we hear back.
It’s been a big week for big tech service outages: Facebook and Microsoft have had big system outages of their own this week.
