Mashable's testing found that attempting to access the Apple Store on an iPhone during the outage brought up a notification that it "cannot connect."
It quickly became apparent that the issue was impacting many more services, though. The official Apple Support Twitter/X account has not made any general announcement about the outage, however it did tell users who raised the issue to bookmark its System Status page for updates.
Fortunately, Apple's services came back up at 4:35 p.m. PT / 7:35 p.m. ET, allowing Apple TV customers to resume streaming The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpinwithout interruption.
Apple's website listed outages on:
App Store
Apple Arcade
