According to Down Detector, thousands of people, mostly from the United States and the United Kingdom, complained of having issues around 16:30 GMT (11:30 ET). Users also logged problems with Find my iPhone, iTunes and Apple TV.

It is currently unclear what caused the issue, as users await a statement from the company. Apple's status page is currently showing that 'all services are operating normally.'

Many Apple users have taken to Twitter to vent their frustration. Here's a look at some of the reactions:
