Apple account login times out

Hi all, Just picked up my new Mac Studio today and having issues signing in to Apple account… it just hangs and times out.. anyone having same issue? By-passed setup to get to desktop, but same issue. iCloud website and Apple.com down too. Rest of internet is fine.

Apple says servers are up / but some reports on X say issues with Apple services today…

Anyone else? Has made the unboxing kind of suck..

I almost packed it up and took it back, but found the info on X… then noticed my iPhone also having issues off of cellular only ( determining not my WiFi) Find-my and Apple care status won’t load…. What say you?

It’s been a while since I’ve done a first few days purchase, glad it’s not a production machine upgrade! Should have known better… machine benchmarks ok though, so not obvious hardware issue…
