Kind of a weasely way to say "are down," or "are having problems," or "are not working."
Like the outage is some kind of external thing. Hey we were just sitting here minding our own business and a random outage came by and jumped into our system.

Having had my systems variously backhoed, struck by lightning, physically unplugged (backup and primary) by a sysadmin (cough who may have on another occasion been me not properly counting the rack I was on cough), and left without mains power for multiple weeks after an electrical fire in a substation, an outage is indeed something that can sneak up on you despite best intentions.
(yes yes "distribute" "build for failure" "it's apple we should expect more" are all valid answers, but wanted to make a tongue in cheek response to your wording.)
My iPhone started telling me that the app I wanted couldn't be downloaded. I wasn't trying to download anything. I rebooted it. Turned on my Apple TV an hour later and it said the same thing. Figured at that point it was an issue with Apple web services.
Regardless if there is an issue with Apple Services or not, there was also an issue with your phone and TV. No phone or TV should ever do that, regardless of the state of Apple web services.

At the risk of a more glib comment than I usually try to make: Having had my systems variously backhoed, struck by lightning, physically unplugged (backup and primary) by a sysadmin ( cough who may have on another occasion been me not properly counting the rack I was on cough ), and left without mains power for multiple weeks after an electrical fire in a substation, an outage is indeed something that can sneak up on…
Based on this reddit thread in r/apple [0], it seems it is more than just service outages. iPhone users are actively being interrupted from unrelated work and forced to deal with popups it sounds like. Not just outages for App Store etc, but massive usability bugs in iOS are appearing and making iOS sound awful to use right now. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/87lafa/issue_with_ap...

~45 online services, and most of them are free. Extra cloud storage and third party content are the only things you pay for.

"are down" doesn't tell you whether it's intentional or not (whereas "outages" is a word that people don't use for expected downtime). "are having problems" and "are not working" don't even tell you anything about the symptoms. But "experiencing outages" means the service is partially or completely interrupted, and that it wasn't expected downtime.

Both of mine and also my wife's did the same thing. Certainly not something wrong with the phone.

If your phone showed annoying popups like that out of nowhere for no reason then yes there is something wrong with your phone! It sounds like your wife's phone and your phone both have the same issue, the same bugs.

To be clear: there is nothing wrong with my iPhone vs anyone else's iPhone. I understand you're going for the "lawl iPhone sux" kind of thing but it's really not appreciated. You can take that somewhere else.
That doesn't mean that there isn't anything wrong with your iPhone. There very clearly is.

I am doing no such thing.
There is a major UX bug on iOS that showed up today. It is a local bug that exists in local code running on iPhones that causes unpleasant, unexpected, intrusive and possibly scary popups to frequently interrupt users. To deny that is insane. It is a simple fact.
