Apple has stopped accepting new podcast episodes to iTunes Connect, a temporary measure that could be an indication a big change to how Podcasts function may be on the way
Rumors suggest Apple is planning to announce a premium podcast subscription as part of its "Spring Loaded" special event. While there hasn't been any concrete evidence so far, some downtime the day before Tuesday's events may be a sign of some behind-the-scenes work at play.
AppleInsider has discovered a new error message in the My Podcasts section of iTunes Connect. Editing the HomeKit Insider podcast, uncovered an alert stating: "The ability to submit new shows for review is temporarily unavailable." There was no indication of when Apple would start accepting new shows for review again.
