FULL STORY
======================================================================

Just a day after unveiling a new iPad mini , Apples App Store seems to be 
having some issues. Were tracking a flurry of reported issues downloading on 
social networks like Threads and X (formerly Twitter) and testing it 
ourselves. 

While you can still browse the App Store and search for applications, the 
issue occurs when trying to download one with the store typically canceling 
the action without explanation. Thats the case for me and TechRadars 
Editor-at-Large Lance Ulanoff, both trying to download various app on 
iPhones. 

Down Detector is also seeing a spike in reported outages from users, with the 
App Store on the site hitting 2,547 reports as of 11:13AM ET. Separately, the 
Apple Store as a whole as well as Apple support, Apple Pay, Apple Music, and 
iTunes are seeing reported spikes on the site. Those are not in the thousands 
as of yet, though. 

As TechRadar does, were tracking the issue and follow along below as we share 
live reports on what might be a partial outage with the App Store, or at 
least an issue with downloading apps.

As of now, I can still browse the App Store and search for apps, but the 
issue arises when trying to download an entirely new app or one that I've 
previously purchased on my iPhone. (Image credit: Future/Jacob Krol) 

Apple's System Status page doesn't show any outage for the App store as a 
whole or the specific platform versions  IE: Mac App Store. The only current 
systems with issues are the Volume Purchase Program (declared as an Outage) 
and Subscription Purchase (declared as an Outage). (Image credit:

Reports on Down Detector spiked to 3,283 at 11:26AM ET but now appear to be 
declining, with 2,750 reported outages as of 11:41AM ET.
