App Store does down, joins the rest of the internet

UPDATE: Nov. 21, 2018, 1:05 p.m. AEDT Apple has updated its system status to mark both the App Store and Apple Music as a "resolved issue." Both platforms seem to be back up and running, after having been experiencing an "issue" from 12:20 p.m. to 12.52 p.m AEDT.

Seems like the whole damn internet is down today.

Following outages on Facebook and Instagram earlier on Tuesday, Apple's App Store is down.
