Come here on Wednesday March 25? Yes, it’s down again: follow our updates here*instead.

It looks like Apple is having a bad Wednesday. The iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store are suffering outages and the company’s app submission service iTunes Connect is down.
While the front pages of both the App Store and Mac App Store are accessible, we’ve hit broken pages on the US and UK App Stores when accessing individual apps. Meanwhile, though music, film and TV content is still visible in the iTunes Stores, you can’t actually buy it.
The problems seem to be geographically inconsistent – it appears to be possible to download apps from the Indian App Store but music tracks aren’t accessible there.
As you might expect, iBooks is*down too and in-app purchases are broken. There also seem to be issues with TestFlight, the company’s service*which allows developers to give beta testers access to their apps. It’s currently inaccessible for some iOS users.
We’ve contacted Apple for details on the situation and will update this post when we have more. The company’s status page shows all its services working correctly but that clearly isn’t the case.
Update:*Thanks for your reports. We’ve had confirmation of problems in Armenia, Australia, Brazil, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Poland, Serbia, South Africa, Cyprus, Canada, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, France, Finland, India, Italy, Indonesia, the Philippines, Romania, Ukraine, the Caribbean, Portugal, Russia, Egypt, Slovakia, Singapore, Vietnam, Israel, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, Greece, Mexico, New Zealand, Kenya, Thailand, the UK and US. So it’s safe to say this is a worldwide issue.
Update 2:*We’re also seeing some reports that logins through the Apple Developer site aren’t working now either.
Update 3:*Karl Hooker in the comments says:
Just spoken to Apple customer services UK and the agent was unaware of the issue until I told her to pick up her own phone and attempt to download an app. She said “Oh, yes I seem to be having the same error” and put me on hold. She then came back and said “We are aware of an outage but I don’t know how long it’s going to take, please try again in about an hour”…
Update 4:*Here’s the latest error we’ve got, we’re now being told that the App Store itself isn’t available in the UK store. Confusing!
