Users trying to stream shows, rent films or update apps on Tuesday evening were met with widespread disruption after a major outage hit Apple TV and several other Apple services at the same time. The issue, confirmed by Apple, left many users locked out of core features, with no clear timeline for when full service would return.
According to Apple's System Status page, the outage began affecting services at around 6:48 p.m. ET, before expanding to include additional platforms less than an hour later. While Apple acknowledged the disruption and said it was working on restoration, it did not disclose what caused the outage or how long users could expect the problems to last.
