Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Some Apple users are reporting that a number of the company's services, such as iTunes and the App Store, have gone down.
Apple's status page showed that the App Store, Apple TV, the Mac App Store, iTunes and iBooks were experiencing technical problems, leading to the services "becoming unavailable for some users."
Some Apple customers reported on social media that they were unable to download new apps, songs, or even access their cloud-based music or pictures.
DownDetector, a website which monitors online service disruptions, showed that the issues were affecting users globally.
The problems appear to have begun at around 3PM on 4 February, continuing later into the afternoon.
The Independent has contacted Apple for more information on the issues.
