iTunes lookup API is answeringHTTP 200 · 32 ms
One request without credentials to itunes.apple.com every two minutes, from eu-central (one location, not a global view). An answer shows the edge, TLS and routing work. It does not prove that authenticated calls succeed.

Get alerted when Apple services goes down
No account. One email when Apple services reports an incident, one when it is over. Also when our probe cannot reach Apple services for several minutes although they report nothing. You confirm the address first, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Or follow the RSS feed. On UpButler? Add Apple services as a dependency to route it to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
Status badge
Show Apple services's current status in a README or an internal wiki. It updates by itself.
[](https://upbutler.com/status/apple)Tell your outage from Apple services's
Declare that your project depends on Apple services. When one of your monitors fails while Apple services has an incident that began around the same time, UpButler tags your incident "likely upstream" with their incident linked, says so in the alert and the AI report, and tells your on-call agent not to change code.
npx upbutler init finds the dependency from your env var names and packages. The catalog, dependencies and upstream-aware incidents are on every plan, including Free.

}Questions
- Is Apple services down right now?
- No. As of 2026-10-10 07:16 UTC, Apple services is up. This page reads the status again every 5 minutes.
- Where does this status come from?
- From Apple services's own system status feed at https://developer.apple.com/system-status/. UpButler reads it once for everyone (not once per visitor) every 5 minutes with conditional requests, and shows it unchanged: incident titles and component names are Apple services's words.
- What does UpButler's own Apple services check prove?
- Every two minutes UpButler sends one request without credentials to the Apple services iTunes lookup API (itunes.apple.com) from eu-central. Any answer from the edge, usually HTTP 200, shows that DNS, TLS and routing work from there. It does not prove that authenticated requests succeed, and it is one location, not a global view. It is most useful when it fails before their status page changes; the page then says so.
- Can I get an alert when Apple services goes down?
- Yes, without an account: enter your email on this page, confirm the link we send, and you get one email when Apple services reports an incident and one when it is over. There is also an RSS feed at https://upbutler.com/status/apple/feed.rss. Teams on UpButler can route the same alert to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
- How can my agent or app check Apple services status?
- Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/apple/status.agent.json: a small JSON document with a verdict (proceed, retry, fallback or pause) and retryAfterSec. No key is needed. The same answer is an MCP tool, upstream_status {"service":"apple"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
- How do I know whether an outage is mine or Apple services's?
- Add "apple" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while Apple services has an incident that began around the same time, your incident is tagged "likely upstream" with their incident linked, and your on-call agent is told not to change code.
