Oops, an HTTPS certificate error on the Apple site 🤭 [Update] | MacGeneration
If you try to access the French site of Apple by following this address https://www.apple.fr
, you will come across an error message of this type in Safari:
Chrome and Firefox also display error messages, and for good reason: the HTTPS certificate is misconfigured or invalid and browsers then systematically block it. This is an essential security measure to avoid phishing, a site that pretends to be another to collect your personal information. Except that in this case, it is the official Apple site that is blocking…
While waiting for a fix, you can simply remove the “s” from the URL and enter: http://www.apple.fr
. In this case, the browser will automatically redirect you to the real address of the site, which is https://www.apple.com/fr/
.
[Update 26/10/2018 10:39]: in fact, this does not only concern the French Apple site, the other international versions are also concerned. Whether it's https://www.apple.it
, https://www.apple.jp
or another country, you'll come across the same HTTPS error.
