As 9to5Mac notes, the live Beats 1 radio stream was interrupted by a 30 minute outage last night — less than 24 hours after its launch. iMessage was also affected with a similar outage two weeks ago, with some users unable to send and receive messages.
Here’s Apple’s official word on the current issues:
“Users may notice slower than normal performance when using iCloud Drive, My Photo Stream, iWork for iCloud, Backup & Restore, iPhoto Journals, iMessage attachments, Mail Drop, or iMovie Theater.”
We’ll be keeping an eye out for any further updates regarding Apple’s services.
