Try clearing Safari website data: Setting app > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. A restart might also be in order. It is also not out of the question that this is a DNS issue and out of your control until a resolution is deployed and propagates.


FYI: this is a user-to-user forum. You are not addressing Apple here. Commands to “sort this out” are not useful or appropriate.
