Downdetector.com, which tracks online outages, showed 583 users reporting iCloud problems at the apparent peak of the outage.

The iCloud website was again available as of this writing, and other Apple services appear to have been restored as well, according to an update to the Macrumors.com report.

Apple's system status page does not appear to have been updated to indicate issues with any services. CRN has reached out to Apple for comment.
