It's definitely not worse than GitHub being down...

  Depends on your priorities. Many developers don't pay for github access, and no one pays github 15-30% of gross sales.

    And a lot more people use github for something at all and don't use Apple for anything at all. The entire Apple universe is smaller than the world or even just the github part of the world, and the Apple developer universe is a tiny fraction of even just the Apple universe.

      > The entire Apple universe is smaller than the world or even just the github part of the world As of 2023, GitHub had 100M active users total. As of a decade ago (2016) Apple already had 782 million total iCloud users, with 73% or 570 million of them authenticated to iCloud. By 2023, Apple has 973 million paying subscribers.

  You can still work locally if GH is down. You can even send patches by (gasp!) email for review if you want to do something ASAP. Apple's servers being down makes it impossible to test your code on your _own_ devices.

    Can’t you still test on simulator
    • cyberax 7mo ago
      You can, but it's a simulator and it often doesn't behave like real devices. Doubly so if you want to do something media-heavy.
