It's not like this is a common occurance. Accidents happen.
On the plus side, iOS 8.2 has been the most rock-solid version of iOS to date, IMO. Very, very pleased with it.
I have a Safari issue in 8.2 where I'll type something in the search bar and it will take a good 30 seconds before the button to search is even available. And other times after I type in a site it seems like it's frozen but then Safari will eventually start loading the page. Killing the app and restarting doesn't resolve it. I'll try to kill some settings. If that doesn't work I'll backup and restore.

... and the update killed my AppleTV. The little light doesn't turn on. Unplugging from and re-plugging brings back an Apple logo for a few seconds – that's it. Dead. Very rubbish update!!!
On my iPad if I use voice dictation and then press done it erases everything I just said. Works fine on my iPhone 6 though.

I'm not gonna bitch and whine, since it didn't affect me personally.
Yeah this has been one of the longest outages for any Apple online service that I can remember, and I don't remember them ever putting out an apology for something like this...

I agree with you about 8.2, battery life on my iPhone 5S and Mini 2 are now WAY better, and the system feels more stable and fluid, best iOS in a while!

We are so obsessed with our first world problems. Imagine what would happen if the country experienced a truly immense catastrophe. What would happen if Silicon Valley were wiped out by an earthquake?
On May 8, 1988 a fire broke out in Illinois Bell’s central switching office in Hinsdale, IL outside of Chicago. This was a major switching hub for the entire area and served over 40,000 subscribers. It took a full 2 weeks for service to be even partially restored. Stories of the hardships caused by lack of basic telephone service were printed in numerous publications. People lost their jobs, businesses went under, police service was interrupted, medical emergencies went without response. Just imagine something like that happening today with the cellular network.
The app store and iTunes are DOWN! How will we survive!
That's the problem with bad DNS it propagates and then caches for hours.

Not usually a conspiracy theorist and honestly couldn't tell "bad DNS" from "Weird Science" - but if not an attack (that the company didn't want to admit succeeded), possibly - in light of the revelations about how the CIA might have substituted their "X-Code with a backdoor" deeply into the Apple infrastructure - they might have needed to take down a whole chunk of infrastructure to reinstall clean code and programs from scratch to regain the security of their systems from our own government.
With the "bad DNS" as the cover story.
My factual basis for saying this: Zip, nada, nothing.
A shame though that our wildly and dangerously out of control surveillance state makes it even marginally plausible to speculate about.....
I was nearly done with a iPad air2 restore (always takes too long) and re-sync and thought the problem was just me and tried everything including losing (resetting) all my settings ;-( when I did not need to do so :-/
I almost did the same with my iPhone as I've been trying to update my payment information and continually was getting an http/1.1 error so I checked their system status page and saw things have been down since 5am...

Will I be offered anything in compensation for this subscription failure?
Entitled much? Not that I think they need to, I wouldn't be surprised if they did do something.

But seriously, outages happen. I hardly think this justifies "compensation".
I agree, however, this is Apple we are talking about and as I said it would not surprise me if they did offer some type of compensation. I wouldn't put it past them to offer a few free songs, or a free app, or something similar. I won't care if they don't and will be grateful if they do offer anything.

I think this is actually an issue with gridmaster-ib.apple.com rather than just bad DNS propagation. All we can really do at this point is speculate why their CDN is offline. Hopefully it will be fine and will be back online soon.

It was the CIA! - they finally cracked it

So 8.1.2 is crap for me but good for everyone else, and 8.2 is great for me but crap for everyone else. Who knows.
Some one is going to be in trouble...
You mean Tim Cook? He should be replaced forthwith, or at least go back to his COO position.

You forgot the obligatory ¡s
It doesn't, things like this can happen when running such a highly complex cloud infrastructure...
I'm thinking malicious DNS injection attack...
Yeah, those are slow to recover from due to the nature of worldwide DNS...
If not, go troll somewhere else.
Just use Google DNS. hahaha
Google has more outages than Apple, they're just not usually this long.
I'm sorry you sold your shares when it was $70. You lost a ton of profits.
I'm assuming you just forgot the ¡s
If not, go troll somewhere else.
Ugh, don't quote the trolls, I had forgotten about brlawyer and was happy not seeing their posts.
7+ hrs? Crazy.

DNS sucks.. Never use it, use IPv6 adresses. :-)
