iOS 11 users unable to reach App Store, Apple Music, or iTunes
Apple on Friday confirmed that some people are encountering problems reaching the App Store, Apple Music, and iTunes if they're using an iPhone or iPad with iOS 11.
Outages have been "ongoing" since at least 10 a.m. Eastern time, according to Apple's system status tracker. The company is providing few other details other than saying the services may be slow or inaccessible for "some" users. In reality problems began earlier in the day, according to Twitter and Reddit posts, possibly as far back as Thursday morning.
It's not clear what the trouble may be, but it could be related to recently-expired security certificates. Sources inside Apple not authorized to speak for the company have told AppleInsider that the impact is "profoundly limited" and suspect that it is related to content delivery networks impacted by the weather, and will rectify itself.
Most people are unlikely to be seriously affected since they can upgrade to iOS 12 if they haven't already done so. Devices prior to the iPhone 5s, iPad Air, and sixth-generation iPod touch are incompatible with iOS 12 however, and people running jailbreaks can't upgrade without losing them.
AppleInsider will continue to monitor the situation.

iPhone 5s was realeased: September 20, 2013
Maybe this was a premature breakage to get the iPad mini folks to upgrade. Oops.
"cannot connect to App Store"
But tell me why my iOS 10 devices can no longer use the Apple Store app? I guess Apple doesn't want me to give them more money.
And I can still run some apps I can't find 64 bit versions of.
that same jailbroken iOS 11 has been working great for just over a year
App Store is back up now
My device is still jailbroken , but apple fixed the issue it was having
Your apology is accepted
i just prefer the jailbroken device because I can change everything to my liking than what apple determines is best for me
Another one. What does the device being jailbroken have to do with store connectivity ? This wasn’t a jailbroke device problem, it was an IOS 11 problem which was clearly backed up by comments here.
