Some iOS and Mac users are currently unable to access the App Store, Mac App Store, and iTunes Store, according to reports from MacRumors readers and Twitter users.

When attempting to load the App Store on some devices, the Featured and Top Charts section are blank, and some users are reporting receiving "Cannot Connect to iTunes" messages when attempting to use the iTunes Store. App Store updates appear to be functional for some users despite the connectivity issues.

Apple's system status page has not yet been updated to reflect any kind of outage and it is not clear how many users are affected.

Yeah.

I haven't been able to download an app since 2 hours ago, so I assume these issues are at least 2 hours old.

I didn't say anything because I thought it was just me.
 
Confirmed down in the UK. I hope Voting to leave the EU didn't do this. I suspect Apple may be changing FX rates, else th are gonna get hit by the strengthening dollar!

Apple is a consumer-centric company. Unlike Microsoft, which serves corporate and enterprise users, they care less on service quality naturally.
If company like Microsoft runs Apple cloud service, the result would be a lot better.

Apple don't run their cloud services, were solely on AWS recently when they added Google and are trying to move away from Amazon and Google providing their cloud services and bringing them in house and I bet outages like these are the reason why.

Everything iTunes and some services like APNS and iMessage are run by Apple data-centers. They use Akamai for CDN.

17.0.0.0/8 is owned and operated by Apple.

They use cloud services for iCloud.
 
The thing that has bugged me forever is system prefs asking me for an icloud password because it says there was an error signing me in when I log on.

STOP IT ALREADY!!

That means nothing. They used the same IP-address range in the past for software update, iTunes Store, MAS and other stuff. In many cases CDNs like Akamai provide the necessary bandwidth, not Apple servers.

That means everything.

Akamai only provides the caching.
 
Same here! Sometimes, in the last weeks, completely down or partly. Last time I noticed that the App Store had been partly down and or incredibly slow it must have been last Thursday.
 
There was a fiber optic cable cut connecting the Raleigh data center. Most likely that's causing connectivity issues for some people and services.
