iMessage and iCloud experience yet another outage

Some of Apple’s services have gone down for the third time this week.

According to the company’s System Status page on the Apple Support website, both iMessage and iCloud Keychain experienced an outage today. Both services went down for “some users” between 4:47 PM and 4:59 PM EST. Apple says that both issues have been resolved:

Today is the third day this week that Apple’s services have experienced outages. In addition to today, a range of services went down on both Monday and Tuesday.

It’s still unclear exactly what has been the cause for any of the outages and, at this point, it is also unclear if any of them are related.
