I assume that would be why I randomly got a pop up asking to verify my Apple account in settings.

Frustrating that this is a common occurrence. Not a good look for Apple or AWS.

Never once claimed anything about 100% perfection but apple's software (and services) seems to have issues every other week. We get it, you like apple, but you can call a spade a spade. You want to harp on the "it just works" better live up to it.
MS has issues by the hour, Apple does fairly well in the outage space.

Holy smokes! You mean there isn't 100.0% perfection 100.0% of the time when tech and humans are involved?
