  1. Investigating

    Around 3:51 AM UTC we started experiencing lower iOS device availability in the EU-Central data center. Our team is actively investigating the root cause and working toward a resolution.

    ### Dates:

    Thursday June 18 2026, 03:45 UTC - 06:45 UTC.

    ### What happened:

    Approximately 7% of iOS devices in our EU data center were temporarily unavailable for customer test sessions after a loss of power to the rack hosting them.

    ### Why it happened:

    The power circuit feeding the affected rack exceeded its capacity, and a protective breaker tripped to safeguard the line - cutting power to the devices on that rack until the circuit was restored.

    ### How we fixed it:

    The affected circuit was reset and power restored to the rack, returning the devices to customer service.

    ### What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:

    We are redistributing power load across affected racks, adding capacity monitoring with early-warning alerts ahead of circuit limits, and introducing a capacity review before new devices are deployed to a rack.
