On the same day as the rocky iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-order, Apple is reporting on its iCloud System Status site that a small percentage of users are experiencing issues with iCloud Mail and iCloud Notes. According to the detailed timeline, the issues began about 45 minutes ago and are ongoing for 0.05% of users. August proved a rough month for iCloud uptime, with major issues reported by Apple on multiple occasions, although the current outage seems minor so far.

A. It’s not a ‘rocky pre-order’, this is the nature of high demand products and events when internet servers and phone lines have limited capacity. Demand outstripping supply is a sign of success, not a particularly negative thing. People need to learn patience. #firstworldproblems
B. as interesting as this clickbait article is (not) if you jump on every moments down time which affects a percentage of iCloud users/services you create a myth that these services are constantly challenged by community wide global outages. Small outages, affecting a percentage of users for an hour here or there are not the end of the world, or exclusive to apple. #morefirstworldproblems.
Not resolved for me.
