Apple TV services are down
An increasing number of users across the United States report that Apple TV+ and its app are failing to load content on Tuesday.
Apple TV+ is a streaming service available across multiple platforms for watching original TV shows and movies. Users report that the Apple TV+ service and app, also called Apple TV, aren't loading content.
According to Down Detector, users began reporting outages for the Apple app and service at about 4:52 p.m. EST. Apple acknowledged the outage at 5:06 p.m. EST.
Apple's system status page shows Apple TV Channels, Apple TV+, and iTunes Match are down. Users are expected to experience intermittent outages where Apple TV app data will not load for Channels or TV+.
iTunes Match is a system that syncs a user's local music library to Apple Music so it can be streamed. It appears to be down in an unrelated issue.
Apple's range of services has seen an increasing level of outages since the start of 2023. There isn't a clear reason for this, though speculation suggests the increasing volume of users may be overwhelming the services.
This is an ongoing outage. New information will be added as it becomes available, and the page will be updated when the outage ends.
