Apple Pay, Apple Card and Wallet were down for some users this morning

Apple's financial services, including Apple Pay, Apple Cash, Apple Card and Wallet, experienced service disruptions for some users between 6:15 AM and 6:49 AM Eastern this morning, according to the company's System Status page. As AppleInsider notes, it's unclear how widespread the issues were, but the company has experienced intermittent Apple Pay issues earlier this year. 

On a personal note, I was able to use Apple Pay without issue around 9AM ET to make a pick-up order at Starbucks. After launching in 2014, it took a while for Apple Pay (and other contactless payments options) to reach widespread support in the US. These days you can tap your phone or Apple Watch to pay at most major retailers (except for Home Depot, for some reason). 

Update, December 20 2023, 11:00AM ET: This story has been updated to reflect that these issues have been resolved.
