Apple Pulls iOS 14.3, watchOS 7.2, and tvOS 14.3 Updates Amid Slew of Server Issues

[MacRumors]

Shortly after seeding the first betas of iOS 14.3, iPad 14.3, watchOS 7.2, and tvOS 14.3, Apple has pulled all of the updates from the Developer Center and they're no longer available for download.

It's not clear if the new software releases were mistakenly seeded out or pulled due to the numerous issues that Apple's servers are experiencing. Right now, users are not able to download macOS Big Sur and are seeing the following message when attempting an install: "An error occurred while installing the selected updates."

Apple's notary server for Mac apps also appears to be experiencing problems and there are iMessage and Maps outages that are ongoing. Apple Pay and Apple Card were also impacted, but Apple's System Status page says those issues have been fixed.

Apple this morning also very briefly released the iOS 14.3 and watchOS 7.2 updates before pulling them again, so technically this is the second time the updates have been seeded out and then removed. It's not clear when the new software betas will see an official and permanent launch.

Wow, I mean, there can't have been that many first-day Big Sur downloaders for there to be this many server issues.

 

[iapplelove]

I’m blaming it all on the new Macs

 

[mackiemesser97]

Getting sloppy, Apple. The share price does not reflect the level of focus on details as it used to be under SJ. Just saying.

Apple chief engineer trying to fix the problem.

Can’t innovate my ass.

It was bold to put out betas while Big Sur downloads were already bringing their servers to their knees.

 

[Macropanda]

Why the release updates when the majority of the world except Australia and Japan is awake is beyond me.
Release the update and midnight in every time zone. Will stagger the downloads throughout the day and people can then download them straight away if they are keen or before/after work.

Sorry Newell - rough night. This sucks...

"Right now, users are not able to download macOS Big Sur and are seeing the following message when attempting an install: "An error occurred while installing the selected updates." Strange, I had no problems with the download here (Brasilia, Brazil). I think the download took less than an hour to complete. Everything installed, every application I use, installed too. Everything working ok...well, at least so far...

Unfortunately this is becoming more common with Apple releases. Poor operations management again.
