Update: After nearly two hours of downtime, iCloud services have been restored.
If you’ve been having trouble accessing some of iCloud’s services this afternoon, you are not alone.
Apple’s System Status page is showing that some iCloud users are unable to access all of the service’s features and have been unable to do so for about an hour.
We’ve received reports from users across the U.S. that iCloud is unavailable to them, and many other Apple users in other countries are reporting the same issue. An official statement on what’s caused the outage has not been released by Apple, though some reports have theorized that the company’s iCloud facility in North Carolina is facing issues.
We’ve reach out to Apple for comment, but for now there is no ETA on when iCloud will be up and running again for all users.
