Supposedly iMessage and Facetime are down again. According to The Verge,

Apple's iCloud system status page confirms that iMessage and FaceTime are down for "some" users. The page says that "normal service will be restored ASAP."

Apple, iCloud, and everything related to, and in-between them is growing just too fast, I believe. Millions of devices connected to Apple/iCloud's servers will bring them down at some point for some people. And it's not that bad, not everyone is affected. This is not a system-wide outage.

I lost iMessages only for an hour.

By the way, SMS and emails still exist. And most importantly, everyone can still make a phone call!

Thank You. People will just bitch about anything that happens for Apple. Good or Bad.

This is just proving that they are gaining more traction. Haven't seen an Android Update cause this much havoc, oh wait cause 50%+ of the world is still on gingerbread.

Not the point. I use iMessage to have frequent communication with someone on another continent. Without it, it's either IM or email. Neither have the convenience that is a text message.

I sent 2 Test IMessages to both my Younger Brother and my Mom (From my IPad Mini, both of them have an Original IPhone 4, without the S, All three of us have Verizon) they all sent just fine and I received their Replies just fine. The only Test Message I did NOT see the Delivered Message Displayed was a Test Message that I sent to my Social Worker (He has AT&T and has been trying to block me from sending him messages and has been trying to get me to contact him only through his Answering Service) Just FYI.

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
