Is Apple down?
Live status for Apple (https://apple.com)
About Apple outages
Apple’s online services — iCloud, the App Store, iMessage, and Apple ID — are tracked individually on Apple’s official System Status grid, and they fail individually too: iMessage can be down while everything else is green.
Apple publishes official incident updates at its status page — worth checking alongside our live test above.
Apple FAQ
Why are my iMessages sending as green bubbles?
Texts falling back from blue (iMessage) to green (SMS) for contacts who normally show blue is the classic sign of an iMessage service incident. Apple’s System Status page lists iMessage separately — when it recovers, messages return to blue automatically.
Why can’t I sign in with my Apple ID?
Apple ID is the authentication layer for iCloud, the App Store, and device setup, so an Apple ID incident blocks sign-ins everywhere at once. If Apple’s status grid shows Apple ID green, a local issue — wrong password, network, or two-factor delivery — is more likely.
Is Apple down for everyone or just me?
We test Apple (https://apple.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check Apple's official status channels.
