Re: Is Apple's iCloud website now completely inaccessible

Hi, A few years back, I was told that iCloud was a separate entity from Apple and that's why it wasn't as accessible as the rest of their ecosystem. Not sure whether that is still the case. Additionally, in my opinion, that's a poor excuse anyway, as Apple is using iCloud for just about
