I routinely have email issues, file transfer issues (to icloud) and issues accessing their binary notarisation service.
The only thing that works routinely well is Apple Pay, however I think that it's refreshing a key lazily in the background and does not actually need a network connection to work. Good design at least.
So when I saw that they're having an outage, I thought. "All at once this time I guess".
I'll be really open here and say that I applied for an SRE job there out of hatred because whoever is in charge of SRE/Infrastructure Operations at Apple is doing a terrible job (or has terrible circumstances).

> I am currently unable to work because macOS sends hashes of every opened executable to some server of theirs and [it's down]
- activation: wiping an iOS/iPadOS/visionOS device, or reinstalling a mac after a full disk wipe
- apns: push notifications, used for realtime notifications for all apps on iOS/iPadOS, even things like Signal that do not use Apple's messaging infrastructure
- imessage: enough said
- boot ticket signing: required for any mac to do an OS update (it's serialized to the CPU's ECID)
any one of these going down for any significant period of time is going to cause widespread global economic disruption.
Well, that’s because…they’re not text messages.
Guess this explains it.
Does Apple internally do something like COE's like Amazon?
