The status page has since been updated to show all the issues as "Resolved." The issues were fixed at 1:57pm Eastern Time, which put the time to resolution at 4 hours 55 minutes.

Apple isn't listing any of the services as enduring an "Outage," as it did in September, but describes each as having an "Issue" instead. It is unclear how many users were affected, but Apple's description and avoidance of using the outage term suggests it is a small section of its total user base.
