Apple iCloud services resume after hours-long outage affecting Mail, Photos, and other apps.
Apple users faced a widespread iCloud outage in the early hours of June 25, affecting several key services such as iCloud Mail, Photos, Find My, iCloud Drive, and Web Apps. The disruption began around 12:00 AM IST and lasted until approximately 4:30 AM IST, as per Apple's system status page. The company has since confirmed that all iCloud-related services are now fully operational across the globe.
