Summary
Apple said most service disruptions were resolved by 7:37 p.m. ET, but Apple TV and subscription purchases were still affected, with its status page still showing 8 active issues.
Most problems began at 4:22 p.m. ET, while Apple TV's outage started at 4:43 p.m. ET; Apple described several services as routine or scheduled maintenance with no expected user impact.
Apple's status page listed Apple TV, App Store, Apple Fitness+, Apple Music, Apple Music Subscriptions, Mac App Store and Subscription Purchase among the affected services.
Users had earlier reported internal localization strings appearing in apps including TestFlight, the App Store and Fitness+, though Apple has not said whether that glitch was tied to the broader outage.
Downdetector reports on Apple TV had already peaked and were trending lower, suggesting the remaining disruption was easing even as some service problems persisted.
