Apple iCloud is paralyzed in a large area, and a large number of official services cannot be used

On October 24, it was reported that 9to5mac and other US technology media reported that the iCloud failure occurred on Tuesday, US local time (continued to Wednesday, Beijing time). Many Apple users report on the network that they cannot use many services that rely on iCloud, such as Notes, "Find My iPhone", etc.

The official "System Status Monitoring" page of Apple also confirmed that many Apple services related to iCloud have failed, such as email, calendar, backup, account login, finding my friends, backup to my MAC computer, iCloud storage updates, iCloud alerts, and so on.

Apple official said that users in some regions suffered from iCloud service paralysis. Whether the iCloud service failure is being resolved and when it will return to normal is still unknown. It is also reported that Apple has not set up an official account on cloud storage services on Twitter, and information communication is not smooth. Some Apple users on Twitter also said that the iCloud failure has lasted for several hours and still hasn't been resolved.

Whether Apple iCloud users in China have also experienced service failures cannot be confirmed. Previously, Apple had transferred the cloud storage data of domestic users to the data center in Guizhou Province.

Cloud storage is a segment of the cloud computing market. In fact, the widespread paralysis and failure of cloud computing service providers is no longer news. In recent years, the cloud computing services of Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and other companies have experienced multiple failures. In addition to consumers' inability to access their saved photos and videos, a large number of Internet companies that rely on cloud computing platforms to provide network services have also been affected, such as Snapchat.

In addition, major technology giants build large data center networks around the world to serve local users closely, so each cloud computing failure affects different users.

According to media reports recently, Apple plans to build the second domestic data center in Inner Mongolia.
