Apple reports that every iCloud service is currently experiencing problems. This affects users of iCloud Drive, Keychain and many more.

However, this doesn’t seem to be cropping up for every user. And many of this company’s other online services are running fine.

Update (3:40pm): All today’s issues with Apple services have been cleared up.

Apple’s official System Status page displays which services are having problems. Normally they are all in the green, but today this page has a big swath of yellow.

Notes on 21 different online offerings indicate that “Users may be experiencing a problem with this service.”

There has been no other official statement about what’s affecting so many iCloud-related services. Whatever it is, all these issues kicked off at 11:51 am EDT.
