iCloud sign-in still interrupted after partial recovery of mail, photos and other services

Apple’s iCloud services had a widespread outage on the morning of November 11, IT Home reported. A 9:02 update that day said iCloud Contacts, iCloud Mail, iCloud Calendar, Game Center and Photos had been restored, while iCloud account and sign-in were still in a service interruption.

IT Home said the outage began around 06:49 Beijing time. In its earlier report, the disruption had already lasted nearly two hours. Core login and registration were down, and the report said people who had bought a new iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone Duo would also be unable to restore data from an iCloud backup while those services were unavailable.

On Apple’s system status pages at the time of that check, IT Home found service interruptions for iCloud account login and registration, iCloud Calendar, iCloud Contacts, iCloud Mail, Photos and Game Center. Find My (formerly Find My iPhone) and the iCloud version of iWork were listed as having problems rather than a full interruption. Status pages for mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom and other regions showed the same faults, according to IT Home. The 9:02 update did not say whether Find My or iCloud iWork had changed.
