Apple App Store is Back After Brief Outage — Users were Stuck with Inability to Install Apps

Apple users reported a problem with the App Store on Wednesday, as they couldn’t download apps from their premium devices. The issue prevented users on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac from installing apps out of the Apple Store. 

This issue didn’t just happen to one or a few users, several others including in the U.S. and Europe faced the same concern. More than 3500 users logged in to the report. The tech giant suffered the unfortunate event just after the launch of its new iPad Mini. According to speculations, this outrage started just after 11 am ET and lasted for an hour. Even though it was a big difficulty, Apple was able to resolve it in no time. 

However, many users were stuck, as not only were they unable to download their favorite apps, but also many were in dire need of installing important apps for banking or while traveling. When users clicked on the “Get” button to download an app during the outage, the icon swirled briefly to indicate that it was loading. However, it then would revert to “Get,” preventing users from installing the app they wanted.

Even though Apple still hasn’t released a statement on why this occurred so suddenly, the great news for now is that the App Store is back again and is working properly.

This issue wasn’t just a big concern for the users, the tech giant’s App Store is more significant for the company. Apple’s App Store represents a major component in the company’s revenue generation. In 2022, the App Store facilitated $1.1 trillion in developer billings and sales, which indicates that Apple can’t afford to play around with outages like this.
