Apple hasn't said when the issues will be resolved

Apple has not said exactly when the issues will be resolved, but we'll be sure to stay on top of the System Status page and update this article once the company has addressed all of the problems.

The issues seem to be affecting users who are trying to set up their new Apple Watch Ultra which launched worldwide today. However, the problem doesn't seem to be limited to Apple Watch and is affecting people on their new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro as well:

The only people who will be spared from this affecting their new Apple product will be those who picked up the new AirPods Pro 2. While it might be a weird feature in the future, we all have to live without Apple Pay support in our earbuds for now!
