Based on this reddit thread in r/apple [0], it seems it is more than just service outages. iPhone users are actively being interrupted from unrelated work and forced to deal with popups it sounds like. Not just outages for App Store etc, but massive usability bugs in iOS are appearing and making iOS sound awful to use right now.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/87lafa/issue_with_appstore/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/87lafa/issue_with_ap...</a><p>Edit: Aside Rant: At what point does the OS need to get out of the way and stop trying to earn money but just let the user use it? Bugs like what people describe in r/apple sounds completely unacceptable from an OS-user standpoint.<p>Here's a quote from a user in that thread,<p>> I had to turn off my phone. I am getting it every ~15 seconds. It's infuriating.
My iPhone started telling me that the app I wanted couldn't be downloaded. I wasn't trying to download anything. I rebooted it. Turned on my Apple TV an hour later and it said the same thing.<p>Figured at that point it was an issue with Apple web services.
"Experiencing outages"<p>Kind of a weasely way to say "are down," or "are having problems," or "are not working."<p>Like the outage is some kind of external thing. Hey we were just sitting here minding our own business and a random outage came by and jumped into our system.
