<p>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 <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Apple;elmt:;cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=4130e2f0-a14f-4c5e-bdab-cd52ac7d8e79&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Apple&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hcHBsZS5jb20vc3VwcG9ydC9zeXN0ZW1zdGF0dXMvIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiIyMGE5ZDZkMi1jZDE5LTQ5YjItODYxZi1lM2I5YTg5ZDU4Y2QifQ&signature=AQAAAez2E9vF86fjB9nZ3QN78MR3Wzr89hQfQWWxKBiqIt5Y&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fsupport%2Fsystemstatus%2F" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/">System Status page[/url].
