At first I genuinely panicked when I tried to write in my journal on my iPhone. I got an iCloud error asking me to enter my Apple Account credentials, only for it to repeatedly refuse to accept them. Meanwhile my Mac was working perfectly fine so I continue to write on it.

Then it dawned on me. Just another perfectly normal day in the Apple ecosystem where iCloud occasionally decides to piss itself for no apparent reason.

Nothing new. Just another magical Apple experience.

The thing I am annoyed about most isn’t the outage. I work in IT and that happens. It seems to be the insistence that “some users” are having issues. It’s also not listing all the problems. Just ridiculous

iCloud is such a house of cards and is far too fragile and cumbersome. I should not have to login three different times to connect three different sets of iCloud services to my AppleID, as just one example.

Who knows what time zone they are using or if it depends on your location. Here is what it says when I checked. I'm in the Central Standard time zone.
