Apple App Store looks fine — our check reached it and it responded normally. If it's not working for you, the problem is almost certainly on your end (Wi-Fi, browser, DNS, or your provider). The steps below will help.

Outage history
The App Store is the only sanctioned way to install software on a stock iPhone or iPad, so even short outages strand millions of users — downloads stall mid-install, updates fail to push, and in-app purchases get stuck in 'Verifying'. The most common visible failure is the storefront returning a blank list or 'Cannot connect to App Store' on a device that's clearly online, which usually means Apple's iTunes/StoreKit backend is throttling rather than the CDN being down. Receipts for purchases made during an outage typically deliver after recovery — Apple queues them — but subscriptions started during the outage can take up to an hour to activate. If you're a developer pushing a release during a partial outage, App Store Connect status (`developer.apple.com/system-status`) is the better signal than the consumer-facing page.
Down for everyone or just you?
Down for everyone
Our probe fails · Server-side outage · Status page incident
1Check Apple's official system status at apple.com/support/systemstatus — App Store, iTunes Store, and StoreKit are tracked separately and can fail independently
2Try the App Store on a different network (mobile data vs. Wi-Fi) — connection errors are sometimes ISP-side, not Apple-side
3Sign out and back in: Settings → [your name] → Media & Purchases → Sign Out, wait 10 seconds, sign back in
4Force-quit the App Store app (swipe up from the bottom and flick the App Store card away) and reopen
5If a download is stuck at 'Waiting…', tap and hold the app icon and choose 'Resume Download', or restart the device
6Verify the date/time setting is automatic (Settings → General → Date & Time → Set Automatically); incorrect time breaks the App Store's TLS handshake
7For developers: check developer.apple.com/system-status for the App Store Connect signal — it lags the consumer page during outages
