Apple Pay and Apple Cash are down for many iPhone users

Trying to make a payment using your iPhone? You might need to use a third-party service, as Apple Cash appears to be down, and Apple Pay looks to be struggling too.

Many users on social media have reported being unable to use Apple Pay.

Based on the reports, the issue seems to affect both Apple Pay and Apple Cash.

The issues seem to have began around 11:15 a.m. Eastern.

I have verified that Apple Cash isn’t working for me or many other iPhone users.

Apple Pay, however, appears to be a problem too. Personally, I had an Apple Pay transaction fail around 11:50 a.m. then worked on a re-try.

Reports online, however, indicate plenty of users are unable to make Apple Pay payments at all.

Apple has not yet updated its system status page to note the outages. But we will update you when we get confirmation.
