Apple Cash went down for some U.S. iPhone users on Tuesday evening, with Apple's own System Status page confirming an ongoing issue since 6:11 p.m. ET. Affected users reported being unable to make purchases through the service, and the outage hit during evening hours when many people would typically be using Apple Pay for everyday transactions.

A separate, shorter outage also occurred earlier that evening, lasting just 15 minutes from 7:45 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET. That issue was already marked as resolved by Apple, though it similarly affected some users who couldn't access Apple Cash. The company's status page listed both incidents, though the longer-running problem remained active as of the latest update.

Reports on X and DownDetector reflected the disruption, though DownDetector data showed complaints trending downward—likely tied to the resolved incident. Apple has not provided additional details about the ongoing issue. Given how many iPhone users rely on Apple Cash for peer-to-peer payments and everyday purchases, even a few hours of downtime creates friction for people trying to complete transactions.
