Those services are down for me in HK

Spain too. Weird! What did they mess up so badly that two countries so far apart are both affected?

UK too. For nearly an hour now too.

Is this why I can't control lights via Apple Home? That's pretty lousy if so...

Interestingly, the App Store is now working for me (wasn't a few minutes ago).

Looks like the App Store is back up now (at least here in the UK).

HomeKit is apparently functioning fine, so maybe not.

...flagged? Really?

HN really is Apple Simp Central. This is literally just linking to Apples own status page

Australia here. Strangely Siri will play music via the HomePod, but the Music app is not responding.

With the WhatsApp/Facebook/instagram outage earlier today. I am thinking this is either a cloud provider issue or DNS or BGP issue lol
