Apple TV suffers embarrassing outage as 'Pluribus' launches
"As reported by Bloomberg and others, users started to report that the service had crashed at around 10:30 p.m. ET, shortly after Apple made the first two episodes of the show available to stream. There were almost 13,000 reports on Downdetector before Apple acknowledged the problem on its System Status page. Reports say the outage was brief, lasting less than an hour."
"At the time of writing, that page has returned to all green. But there remains a Resolved Outage note on Apple TV (simply saying "Some users were affected; users experienced a problem with Apple TV" between 10:29 and 11.38 p.m.), as well as on Apple Music and Apple Arcade, which also went down at the same time. Social media reports indicated that the outage was widespread."
"Pluribus is the work of Vince Gilligan, who created Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and stars Rhea Seehorn from the latter show. It's one of the highest-profile offerings to appear on Apple TV, so this outage couldn't have come at a worse time. It isn't clear what went wrong on a technical level, though it's possible Apple's servers simply weren't ready for the level of demand."
Apple's streaming service experienced a major outage across the U.S. and Canada shortly after the premiere of Pluribus, affecting Apple TV, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade. Users began reporting crashes around 10:30 p.m. ET, with almost 13,000 reports appearing on Downdetector before Apple acknowledged the incident on its System Status page. The outage was brief, lasting less than an hour, and the System Status page later returned to all green while maintaining a Resolved Outage note. Social media reports indicated the disruption was widespread. The cause was not disclosed, though server overload from high demand was suggested.
