An outage at Apple Computers shutdown key web services Monday including text messaging, Maps, Apple Music, Apple TV, and other platforms.
The company confirmed the outage after users were unable to stream music, purchase items from the app store, or send and receive emails.
“In addition to Apple’s online services — Music, Maps, Podcasts and more facing outages — I’m told Apple’s corporate and retail internal systems are down too, limiting remote work and retail operations like product pick-ups and repairs,” wrote a reporter for Bloomberg.
