iPhone 3.0 Drop Time Update and the Great iPhone 3G S Delivery Date Debate
Years past it was lining up outside Apple Stores days in advance, this year it’s staring feverishly at LCDs, hitting little buttons like mice at a combo food dispenser/electro-shocker, and hoping beyond hope that iPhone 3.0 is finally ready to download and the UPS dude is a couple days early at the door.
Relax. Breathe.
No one really expected iPhone 3.0 to hit at 12:01am Cupertino Prime Time, and no one truly believed Brown would roll up with an iPhone 3G S at the exact same moment — and a couple days early. Hope perhaps, dream indeed, but Steve P. Jobs like his events both maddeningly unpredictable and elaborately choreographed.
Doing some elaborate time zone gymnastics, Engadget figures 1pm EDT/10am PDT is the magic moment for iPhone 3.0. Hey, it’s the typical start time for an Apple Keynote/Special Event, so why not?
Meanwhile, huge hulking piles of email and tweets tell us all those with early UPS delivery dates are seeing those dates disappear and change faster and more frequently than glowing Apple logo rumors, with the latest being: it looks like UPS is holding packages until their originally announced release date of Friday, June 19.
So, get comfy people, keep your virtual sleeping bags tucked and your coffee, cyber or otherwise, warm. It might just be a long day ahead — or few days ahead for hardware — for all of us.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:04 am
Well I guess us Australians will just have to go to sleep and wake up with a little present…
June 17th, 2009 at 6:14 am
i believe it will be 5 am pct
June 17th, 2009 at 6:24 am
What i really want is beejive 3.0 to be out with push notifications. And jailbreak for 3.0
June 17th, 2009 at 6:24 am
Just release the damn update already. Why make it available when everyone and their mother will be awake and looking to update? Wouldn’t it make sense to release it at midnight so Apple’s servers don’t all crash at once. You know that is what is going to happen once 3.0 is released in the middle of the day. Boo to Apple!
June 17th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Well. I guess the iPhone developers need some sleep too. Too bad we’re all losing sleep over it.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:36 am
The last update didn’t become available until Apple headquarters opened at 10am. This seems to be an intentional (and intelligent) move on their part to not have software installing without tech support ready for the inevitable problems that will ensue.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:41 am
Here’s something strange. I woke up this morning to an email from Apples stating:
Shipment Date: Jun 17, 2009 Delivers by: Jun 23, 200
Obviously bothered, I clicked on the tracking information and UPS says:
Scheduled Delivery: 06/18/2009
Why so many games Apple. When will this thing arrive? Guess I’ll know somewhere in the next week.
June 17th, 2009 at 6:46 am
Well its 12:45 pm in uk so thats 4:45 am in cali? and still no 3.0
June 17th, 2009 at 6:46 am
“OS 3.0 at 19:00 CET” engadget
June 17th, 2009 at 6:47 am
@Josh – Apple should really start to cater to their customers instead of dictating to them. Bring your IT people in early and let the downloading begin.
June 17th, 2009 at 7:00 am
Well it’s 8:00pm in China and I’m from Chicago. It’s been Wednesday for quite a while here and I’ve been waiting for this all day. I hope I won’t have to wait until Thursday China time. Come on Apple let’s see this sucker!
June 17th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Apple would have been wise to embed the iPhone update into the latest 8.2 iTunes update (a few weeks ago) as a sleeper. It would have spread out the stress on their servers. Maybe next time?
June 17th, 2009 at 7:05 am
I just saw a tweet saying 19.00 set for Europe (Amsterdam)
June 17th, 2009 at 7:07 am
Looks like we’ll have to wait one more day. http://www.apple.com/sg/iphone/softwareupdate/
June 17th, 2009 at 7:09 am
Why the heck can’t they just do something that is freaking automated? I just want my update so I’m not antsy all stinking day! Blah, I guess I’ll wait another 5 freaking hours for it to come out. ***!
June 17th, 2009 at 7:13 am
That’s the Singapore version of the page…they have to wait, not us here in the US…
June 17th, 2009 at 7:16 am
I say its comming out at 6am Cupertino time. Right now its 5:05am in california and i woke up at 6 last year for the 2.0 update and i updated then so I say at 6
June 17th, 2009 at 7:17 am
Well folks the official word has hit, due to tech. difficulties at Apple HQ 3.0 will not release for another two weeks.
June 17th, 2009 at 7:17 am
No we won´t – http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/
June 17th, 2009 at 7:17 am
Sigapore gets it at the same time as US. They are like 10-12 hours ahead of us which by the time it rolls out it will be June 18 in Singapore……
June 17th, 2009 at 7:18 am
Why Tell us one date then another, get ur act together apple!
June 17th, 2009 at 7:19 am
Its 8:18 orlando Florida, still nothing yet. lame haha
June 17th, 2009 at 7:27 am
June 18th! Really apple? First you and att screw 3g owners about upgrading to 3gs, but say it’s ok, you get 3.0. Now you lie about the date of 3.0? You have just alienated the last remaining iPhone customers who weren’t mad about the update apple tax.
June 17th, 2009 at 7:32 am
Who said they lied?
It’ll be out today, relax.
Other countries websites say June 18th, only because they’re on a different time. Disregard those.
June 17th, 2009 at 7:32 am
C’mon guys! Stop moaning and wait a few hours more… Does it make any difference if you get it now or after 2-3 hours.. And it’s NOT tomorrow, it’s TODAY! Jeez!
P.S. Be happy you have your phones, some of us still DON’T.
June 17th, 2009 at 7:35 am
I just refreshed the site reporting June 18th and they had updated correcting that the 18th is for Australia and Asia. I’m calm now.
June 17th, 2009 at 7:38 am
Everyone, From a GD source the update will be lunched 5pm GMT london
June 17th, 2009 at 7:40 am
Man I’m going to pee my pants in Bangkok waiting for this release…come on baby!
June 17th, 2009 at 7:44 am
Yeah my tracking has been updated with the following:
Package Progress Location Date Local Time Description LOUISVILLE, KY, US 06/17/2009 5:37 A.M. THE RECEIVER REQUESTED A HOLD FOR A FUTURE DELIVERY DATE. UPS WILL ATTEMPT DELIVERY ON DATE REQUESTED
June 17th, 2009 at 7:57 am
Everyone, From a GD source the update will be lunched 5pm GMT london
It will be lunched by 5? So it will be released what, an hour before that? And turned to binary mush by crashed servers by then?
I think everyone’s going to have a nervous breakdown, and all out of curiosity, unless you’ve got something really really important to cut and paste I suppose.
What fun.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:06 am
Well it’s 6am here in San Francisco, CA USA and still nothing.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:10 am
If I was in Bsngkok I’d be peeing my pants too, oh what, that was Phuket. Release the update so these nerds has something to do besides hit refresh on their computers all morning. Dorks. I’ll stay in bed with my girl. Let me know how it goes.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:12 am
Wow am I losing alot of sleep because of a stupid update come on aple I wanna go t bed already jesusssss!!!!!
June 17th, 2009 at 8:16 am
Current GMT: 1:13:41
Only 3 hours 46 minutes 19 seconds left–if that.
Go forth to Pete’s or Starbuck’s.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:17 am
I kinda figured it would be avaliable around 12 or 1 because that was the same time the WWDC started even thou I was hoping to wake up and be able to update to 3.0 I guess I will be waiting here at work till 1 hopefully, but I keep checking before 1
June 17th, 2009 at 8:20 am
I was so sleepy after waiting up last night, I went to bed with my contacts on, of course woke up fresh and excited to see the news, only to be greeted by more waiting, what’s a few more hours right
June 17th, 2009 at 8:21 am
It’s 8pm here in Indonesia, and still waiting.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:22 am
I just saw on their web site they ve changed the date to june 18th……..arggghhhh
June 17th, 2009 at 8:24 am
OS 3 could be very close to being released to the servers. I installed OS 3 GM last week and I just fired up itunes and clicked “check for update” and it told me that “OS 3 is the current version”. I haven’t seen that message before even after I upgraded to OS 3 GM.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:25 am
You can guess that the software will be released sometime just after noon NY time. The reason? Well, if you check out the India website, it says iPhone 3.0 comes June 17. But Singapore/Hong Kong are saying June 18.
Midnight in Singapore is noon in NYC, so it must come online AFTER that point.
Midnight in Mumbai is 2.30pm in NYC, so it must come online BEFORE that point.
Therefore, it will be available sometime in the next five hours or so. It is now 18.53 in Mumbai, 21:23 in Singapore.

Apple Oz iPhone page has just been updated … Date has been changed to an ‘Updating is Easy’ button … !!
Graphics don’t work … (- Apple ? Experts ?)
But it’s a sign !
Surely ?
June 17th, 2009 at 8:36 am
I received my delivery notice today, says it will be delivered on 6/22. I wonder if the release is going to get pushed, or if I’m just one of the unlucky ones that will not get an iPhone on launch day?
June 17th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Let’s be honest. We’re all lonely. Our mutual love of the iPhone strikes an even deeper chord than LiLo’s Twitter photo.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:41 am
The O2 web site here in the UK have just published their instructions to enable O2 users to still get free web access via the iPhone with 3.0 installed.
Shouldn’t be long now (I hope).
June 17th, 2009 at 8:43 am
Download the 3.0 Software Update.
Available June 18th.
This is in the apple website!!!!!!!!! I live un Europe wtf?!
June 17th, 2009 at 8:43 am
That’s for the SG software update for a phone that releases tomorrow (the 18th).
Try going to the regular iPhone site which still says the 17th.:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/
Nay-saying is annoying as hell. Even if we did have to wait, who gives? We’ve been without cut and past for how long, now?
June 17th, 2009 at 8:45 am
This is a big freakin nerdfest. And I’m happy to be part of it.
Oh yeah, and my prediction is 10 AM Pacific Time.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:46 am
ok, for the technologically challenged of us:
if we have 2.x jailbroken, do we just get 3.0 from itunes, or need to go through the motions again with the snow thingy?
June 17th, 2009 at 8:46 am
Correction, that might be the Singapore site… Either way…
Try going to the regular iPhone site which still says the 17th.:

Dying of waiting.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:49 am
The iphone tech support line doesn’t know what time its being released.. lol.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:50 am
Uhh thank you THunt. I am counting seconds and i have clicked check for update 3000 times
June 17th, 2009 at 8:50 am
Jack **** here in chicago 850am
June 17th, 2009 at 8:50 am
it is now 9:50 am NY time. still nothing. have been checking since about 12am. it would of been funner to just guess when the update was coming instead of waiting with fatigue at my computer chair
June 17th, 2009 at 8:56 am
CHICAGO!! 8:55AM Still Nothing!……thanks apple!
June 17th, 2009 at 8:58 am

June 17th, 2009 at 8:59 am
No problem, visi.
Someone finds something not paying attention and all hell breaks loose. Would have thought the world was ending. I’m glad I could set the record straight.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:00 am
at 10am est, ive got nothing.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:02 am
I’m surprised by all the posts from readers stating they’re on pins & needles waiting for this update. I googled the 3.0 file over a week ago. It’s all over the net on torrents & even as a web download. You just need to make sure you download the correct update depending on your phone (1,1 (original) 1,2 (3G), 2,1 (3GS)) I upgraded my phone and have been playing with the final version since then. If you’re that impatient, get it. It’s out there.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:03 am
still nothing here in Texas… it’s 9:04 cst.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:04 am

Murmejo… Isn’t ‘iPhone2,1′ for the 3gS? If so, that link won’t help anybody.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:23 am
Man apple is some fucktards it wouldve been smart to drop this at 12am and quit posting bullshit links ahem mermejo
June 17th, 2009 at 9:29 am
I keep hearing 10AM Pacific repeated everywhere. This is idiotic, though; I remember that last time they did this the server went down because it got pounded. If they would have started at Midnight Pacific, they would have spread out the traffic. You would have the hyper-enthusiasts at midnight and the trickling down to the casuals. I’m probably analyzing it from a US stand-point, as that might create a large traffic push over seas.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:30 am
Things I want before Christmas: New iPhone, Software 3.0 Update and the iPhone Enabled version of TiPB.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:31 am
DAMN WTF… Why cant they just release it… I just called CRAPPLE and they are like we dont know when its going to drop… Steve Jobs needs to wake his *** up and and pull the trigger………. WTF
June 17th, 2009 at 9:31 am
@Mermejo
The jerkstore called….
Stop posting 3GS firmware. Nobody can use it.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:32 am
Come 1 o’clock I hope Itunes doesn’t come crashing down or we get a stupid message that pops up because everyone is trying to update all at once.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:32 am
Have been waiting for it since midnight and still wait.
I’m in Cupertino, CA
June 17th, 2009 at 9:33 am
I’d have to be an idiot to download this via torrents – I just can’t trust that the image hasn’t been screwed with & something added that I don’t need, like a trojan or virus.. Call me paranoid but I find it hard to believe that someone hasn’t done something malicious to at least one of the images out there – It has happened before, remember yellowsn0w, so I’ll just wait till I know I’m getting an image that’s straight from Apple..
June 17th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Well something is up as the support forum area for the Apple iPhone is down – it just has a message stating that “they’ll Be Back Soon”..
June 17th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Interesting to see how people are going crazy over estimating what time the iPhone 3.0 update will be. It seems likes its a worldwide craze. I’ve found so many sites with commentators that are making guesses. We should start making bets.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:40 am
does anyone know if 8.2 is giving jailbroken phones issues?
June 17th, 2009 at 9:40 am
Vegas probably has odds going for the release.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:40 am
the support is down because of the overwhelming phone calls asking where this update is… i doubt anything other than that has happened as this has been planned for a while
June 17th, 2009 at 9:41 am
I can’t wait until the 3.01 release — once all the 3.0 bugs are fixed.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:42 am
GUYS ITS 11am PACIFIC DAYLIGHT TIME JUNE 17 (APPLE TIME IN CALIFORNIA USA)…. Call Apple yourself direct. That’s what they will tell you. THAT IS WHEN IT IS BEING RELEASED.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Update will be released at 6pm BST
June 17th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Steve Jobs and the people at Apple are very sick people, they enjoy having their customers suffer at their will.

Bon-chod that AT&T, Apple and their iPhone hype, those bhoses shouldn’t have posted the release date because now everybody’s lodos are up and waiting for that agar! It’s 11am EST and nothing yet!
June 17th, 2009 at 9:50 am
i would suck apples d**k at this point for 3.0
June 17th, 2009 at 9:51 am
2 text messages that i have received from apple, one about the USB adapter, and the other about the 2.2 update came at 2:32pm ET and 2:29 ET.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:51 am
wtf apple release this junk so i can go to work already…screw that im taking my comp to work… 10:52 EST no update yet

WOW! We are all a little excited waiting for this release but that’s a bit much. Best day I had in ages, beets thing about work all day! City or rainbows hey
June 17th, 2009 at 9:55 am
…it will either be released in 7 or so minutes…. or it will be released in an hour and 7 minutes…. thats what im guessing
June 17th, 2009 at 9:55 am
WOW! We are all a little excited waiting for this release but that’s a bit much. Best day I had in ages, beats thinking about work all day! City or rainbows hey
June 17th, 2009 at 9:56 am
Somebody check my logic here… Aren’t we all connected to the same internet? Whether you’re in Miami, Texas, Cupertino, London, Bora-Bora, Kalamazoo, Honolulu, or Pyongyang? Do you really think Apple has scheduled a targeted release time for [your town here]? If it isn’t released in Toledo, then likely it isn’t available yet in Timbuktu either.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:57 am
If the websites for the various countries are correct, the release window is between 9am and 11:30am PT. For me, being in Chicago, that means between 11am and 1:30pm.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:58 am
@truth
i will let u take a dump on my chest for 3.0
June 17th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Everyone quit your whining. Apple owns all you nerds!
June 17th, 2009 at 10:01 am
Sheep, poor slaves and idiots all have common grounds. Lmfao
June 17th, 2009 at 10:01 am
im calling apple about this and its talking forever im guessing lots of people are calling about this stupid delay i the iphone 3.0 but im guessing it will be avablible at 10 am california time caues thats what time it came out last year and thats also when apple opens in cupertino ca so this is when tech support will be avablible.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:02 am
Apparently, a carrier in Hong Kong is informing it’s customers that the update will be available at 1am local time on the 18th. That translates to a 10am PT release. Noon for me. I’d put my money on that, if I were betting.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:03 am
tick….tick….tick…tick……….
June 17th, 2009 at 10:04 am
You guys, really — find something else to do for a few hours. The longer you sit here clicking “check for update”, the longer it’s going to seem to take.
It’ll drop when it drops, and not a second sooner. No amount of whining or bitching or pleading or calling is going to make it happen any earlier. You could always kill some time by sending nasty emails to AT&T regarding the MMS debacle.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:05 am
I’m ready for them to release all the new apps with push enabled, no more late responses to instant messages, yah
June 17th, 2009 at 10:05 am
well its past 10:am central time here and still nada. and apple is still holding the curtain down.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:06 am

That is the GM build…
sigh…do you people listen?
June 17th, 2009 at 10:07 am
looks like apple is updating there website.. It first said Coming 17th of June.. Now it says Learn how to upgrade.. Any minute now i guess. Also the australian apple website got updated
June 17th, 2009 at 10:11 am

June 17th, 2009 at 10:11 am
3s right, I’m off to work out how to dash mount my tomtom and extend the dice cable
June 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Your right about the bitching and complaining, but it does make me feel better….
June 17th, 2009 at 10:13 am
Where does it say Learn how to upgrade? Mine still says Available June 17….
June 17th, 2009 at 10:15 am
@WTF, well if it makes you feel better… that’s different…
June 17th, 2009 at 10:16 am
You guys are a bunch of dopes.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:16 am
sad news, they cancelled the 3.0 download. No joke.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:20 am
tgar, have any proof…haha
June 17th, 2009 at 10:20 am
@tgar: You beat me to it… I was just going to be a **** & say “It’s OUT! I’m downloading it in iTunes right now! Hooray! I got it! Yeah!”
June 17th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Tgar if you are pulling a fast one…….
June 17th, 2009 at 10:23 am
the more you all wait, the more you will be disappointed. its only basic stuff in the update you’ve all seen it before. your waiting on the release of old toys
June 17th, 2009 at 10:24 am
yea, its a joke sorry guys………..man i’m ready to skip work for this……..still waiting.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:24 am
@ Tgar – you are an idiot
June 17th, 2009 at 10:25 am
@Truth
Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is the GM issue? I didn’t see anything in this thread about that. Don’t flame me…just trying to help.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:26 am

June 17th, 2009 at 10:32 am
O2 UK says 3.0 will be out this evening in the UK on their website. Guessing anytime after 5pm BST, that’s 4pm GMT. Currently 4.30 BST.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:32 am
You guys know that the GM 3.0 has been available for a week now on the interwebs, right? Just get it and update manually. lol
June 17th, 2009 at 10:33 am
this is bull
June 17th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Should be 1 hour and a half till the update!!!
June 17th, 2009 at 10:35 am

June 17th, 2009 at 10:35 am
I think it is a bad idea to wait this long for the update and cave to downloading a non-Apple approved torrent…anyone else think this is crazy?

Nerds, What BT goodies is everyone going to buy? Anybody studied the stereo headphone or keyboard offerings yet?
June 17th, 2009 at 10:39 am
Bluetooth keyboard won’t be supported.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:40 am
I would have to agree with 3.0, it’s time u sheep stand up for your rights. Tmobile customers have way better rates…not to mention their loyalty plan. So slaves take a stand and tell AT&T to stop nickle and diming us. My services with AT&T suck! Always droping calls
June 17th, 2009 at 10:42 am
I’m still guessing it’s an hour and twenty till the release. Why download the GM – which, as I understand it puts the phone in testing mode – when you’re going to have to download the released version anyway?
June 17th, 2009 at 10:43 am
If you’ve been tethered to your Mac since midnight, obsessively pressing the “Check for Update” button in iTunes, you can give it a rest. At least for a few hours. Engadget has deduced that today’s iPhone 3.0 update won’t get pushed out until around 1pm ET.
Its rationale?
Reports that carrier 3 in Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That’s 1pm on the 17th in New York, 6pm in London, and 1900 in central Europe.
So there you have it. Another three hours to go.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:43 am
hey bamofo63 where can i get a legit download from? one that isnt going to brick my phone?
June 17th, 2009 at 10:47 am
pimplepain… where’d you come up with 3 hours again?
June 17th, 2009 at 10:47 am
14 minutes and counting
June 17th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Man all apple had to do was give us a specific time that would shut everyone up!

That was from ZNET… NOOB
June 17th, 2009 at 10:51 am
Tap tap . . . Tap Tap Revenge . . .
Stupid song stuck in my head. . .
Whenever 3.0 does drop, it’s going to download at 1kb/s and take forever. Then Apple’s the servers will crash, and the iPhone-apocolyps will by upon us…
I love Lamp!
June 17th, 2009 at 10:52 am
i am so obsessed with the iphone!!! I pre ordered it and was so excited it would come today because that was the ups delivery date but right now my phone is in kansas waiting to be delivered till the 19th
June 17th, 2009 at 10:52 am
its worth the wait man
June 17th, 2009 at 10:55 am
Finally! Got up at 8 am ET to check been clicking update ever since. Finally out..enjoy guys.
June 17th, 2009 at 10:55 am
i have been waiting all day and still no sign of hope but thats how apple works u think that they r stuck in the same habit then they completely change up the whole game! so be patient i think the most reasonable time will be 1 o’clock because most people are working then so not everyone can get to it immediately so people do not overload the system it all makes sense as to why they do this.

“This version of software (2.2.1) is the current version”
Why do you lie to me computer!!!!!
June 17th, 2009 at 11:04 am
well, going by the world clock and dates posted on the international apple websites, we’re simply waiting for india to cross over to the 18th. that occurs in just under an hour.
oh and i’m in australia. im supposed to be studying for an exam tomorrow morning, but meh.
June 17th, 2009 at 11:05 am

June 17th, 2009 at 11:08 am
My guess is 12 AM CST.
June 17th, 2009 at 11:09 am
My iTunes just had a real think about dropping the update!! Dialog box popped up saying contacting Apple update servers with scrolling bar. Then informed me my version was up to date. cruel…
June 17th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Since Morning I’ve been waiting to get my iPhone Updated and right now it 17:10 hrs at London and my iTune says dat’ 2.2.1 is the current version.
Am kinda getting mad… any one knows wot time it’ll be out?
June 17th, 2009 at 11:10 am
I have a flight to from Chicago to Frankfurt at 6:30 PM. This puppy better be out by 1 PM central or I can’t get it today.
June 17th, 2009 at 11:11 am
9am California now, i’ll bet they’re getting ready to roll it out now 50 mins i bet
June 17th, 2009 at 11:12 am
First iPhone 2G customers ***** and moan that they have to pay $400+ to buy the iPhone, and still sign a 2 yr contract but can upgrade a year later (eligible for the 3G when it came out July l1th 2008). Then customer’s ***** because they have to sign a 2 yr contract again in 2008 when they buy the 3G model at a DISCOUNTED price $199 & $299…on a $599 and $699 phone?! The standard at AT&T is 20 months after your contract, you are ELIGIBLE for another upgrade. So everyone ******* about not being able to pay $199/$299 for the 3GS. Face it people, you’re all brainwashed by the “new technology”. Do you go out and buy a new car every year too? You guys make me sick. Unlike you suckers….I have so much debt, that never got around to buying the 3G, and can now buy the brand new video capturing 3GS!! Sucks to be you guys! hahahaha
June 17th, 2009 at 11:12 am
Hey Rai it will out 6pm London Time just hang in there for another 50 mins or so
June 17th, 2009 at 11:13 am
@cityandcolour88: India doesn’t go to the 18th for the next 2 hours and 25 minutes
June 17th, 2009 at 11:13 am
@Mark
Haa haa! Crappy! I just imagine someone sitting at their computer, getting all excited, “Oh my God, this is it!…. oh… wait… no.” And then massive disappointment…
June 17th, 2009 at 11:14 am
so i think that apple just needs to release everything at 12 o’clock in the morning no matter what your time zone is
June 17th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Man I werked all night last night expecting to b able to get tha update when i got off at 7a.m CT-US !

i just got an email from my service carrier (optus) about the update. i got it just past 2am so im assuming it’ll be out at around 3am melbourne time.
June 17th, 2009 at 11:19 am
@Niwton. I’m aware of my mistake. Posted that its Thailand and such that we’re waiting on.
June 17th, 2009 at 11:20 am
@Cruz:
Unlike you “sucker”, I have so much money that I bought the 3G outright, and now I’m going to buy the 3Gs outright and throw my 3G in the bin.
Sucks to be you in so much debt! hahahahaha

@ Alex: Wow… can you imagine what Russia, Mexico or any number of Latin country’s annual income from organized crime is?
June 17th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Just had an SMS from O2 in the UK stating that the update will be available “this evening”; whatever that means?

June 17th, 2009 at 11:46 am
@ Entspeak yes sir it might
June 17th, 2009 at 11:47 am
So what is the concensus? Do we need to close iTunes before clicking ‘Check for Update’ each time? How big is this file supposed to be?
June 17th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Why does everyone have their panties in a wod? The update for the regular 3G isn’t even gonna have that many “new” features, all the good updates will be on the new 3Gs…
June 17th, 2009 at 11:49 am
probably no need to close iTunes as long as your signed in to your account, they should give a prize to the first download
June 17th, 2009 at 11:49 am
Does anyone know if you have to close itunes between checking for an update?

I think you have it wrong. It is the 3GS that doesn’t have that many “new” features compared to the 3G!
June 17th, 2009 at 11:53 am

WTF? Man! Why is the US being punished while freaking UK is getting theirs? Is that how apple plans on keeping servers from crashing? Only allowing certain countries to download at certain times this sucks. the iphone is beginning to get more frustrating than its worth, first the crappy 3gs upgrade pricing now the thing to help alleviate that hurt is being stolen from us.

June 17th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
It is a 230.1 MB file, the d/l will take a little while, especially with 1,000,000,000,000,001 nerd d/ling at the same time, I still have 16 minutes remaining on the d/l. I’m on DSL.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
East Coast….Downloading now and at a fairly fast clip. Too bad I have the first gen Edge….but getting the new one on Friday.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Wasn’t location-based… I’m in Philadelphia & got it about the same time as the UK folks started reporting it.
Close iTunes and try again…
They are probably also throttling connections to maintain download performance.

So it was the same as the GM. I could have downloaded a week ago.LOL
June 17th, 2009 at 12:38 pm

June 17th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
@Vinay — ugh. Wonder if I’ll have the same problem. Will find out in about a week when it’s done downloading.
June 17th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Think you’ve got it bad I’m on a ship in the middle of the ocean trying to download over a satellite connection!!!

June 17th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Whew!! I finally got it!! Thank you Jesus!!!
June 17th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
You telling me you’ve got it bad?! I’ve got 500 more songs to sync!
June 17th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
thank u jesus its here!!!!
June 17th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
ARRGGHHH!!! Why must it sync so slowly?! This is worse than waiting for the release!!
June 17th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Does this build show the notifications bar in settings because the GM build didnt
June 17th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
What is the computer listening to the songs and getting all nostalgic here or what?! “Oh, I remember when we downloaded this one… We were playing poker online at the time, do you remember?” Yes, yes, yes!!! Sync already! Come on… halfway there.
June 17th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
notifications won’t show, in the settings, until you run an app that has push notifications enabled
June 17th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
@ Desmond: Hold on, let me ask my iPhone…
Hey… HEY!!! Is there a notifications bar in the settings?! HEY!!! It’s not listening to me at the moment. It’s translating Bjork’s Gling-Glo album into English instead of just SYNCING THE DAMN THING!!!!
June 17th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Thanks Davey Boy! Entspeak your hilarious!!lol
June 17th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Downloading right now through iTunes. 2pm EDT

June 17th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
thar she blows!
got it and got it installed
June 17th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
3.0 up and running on the 3G iPhone in Texas. Took less than 45 minutes from start to finish. Thank you (finally) Apple. Now, if only AT&T would get their act together for MMS… “Later this summer”…
June 17th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
does 3G have turn bu turn directions?
June 17th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
My god! It’s full of stars! Well, finally done syncing… Man, I need a new lappy… ooooh, landscape mail… not just the keyboard, but the entire app!! Suhweet!
June 17th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Well, it certainly is a leaner file… I have a few more megs of space left on my iPhone than I did before the update.
June 17th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
does 3G have turn by turn directions?
June 17th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
it is 2:23 EST and it is here. about time
June 17th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Downloading 1.12pm EST
June 17th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Turn by turn doesn’t come built in… it requires an app. As far as I know, Tom Tom will work on an iPhone 3g.
June 17th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Does video and being able to send pics on texts not work besides on the iphone 3g s?
June 17th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Video will only work on the 3Gs because it has a camera capable of it. Sending MMS will be possible on both the 3G and the 3Gs as soon as AT&T gets off their butt and make it happen here in the US. If you’re not in the US, then you may have that ability already.
June 17th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
is it true u can exchange your 3G for a 3Gs for $40 at AT&T?
June 17th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
@ DDD
haha.. if only….
June 17th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
activation server down.
anyone else having problems right now?
June 17th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
50 mins to download on 2mps connection, then “Iphone cannot be updated at this time because the iphone activation server is temp unavailable! Nice one Apple, when you hold back for most of the day and build up a buffer of people waiting for it, your not going to cope!!
June 17th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Just come back in to see my PC can’t complete my request or connect to the iTunes store. Guss this is the activation server everyone is on about. Can I unplug my phone and use it?
June 17th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
29 clicks of update and finally = we’re off!
June 17th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
you can send the voice memos in email.. that’s pretty cool
June 17th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
what the hell it wont let me install. saying iphone activation server is temporarily unavailable.
June 17th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
this blows
June 17th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Server down, you know what f**k Apple.
June 17th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
just got through activation server!
June 17th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
When will picture messages and tethering be available in US
June 17th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Done, finally
June 17th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
does the turbo sims work for the 3.0 update??
June 17th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
I d/led it, nothing real different, yea you can cut and paste now, landscape view and typing in text and email, and there is a voice memo recorder, but other than that nothing really to write home about. And the full MMS will be “late summer” according to AT&T, which probably means LATE August. So continue to hold a while for the really cool part, being able to send contacts and pics through text.
June 17th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Apple you SUCK ! You knew it was going to be busy why didn’t you prepare, 5 hours since the release and the sever is still too busy !
June 17th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
56 clicks for me
June 17th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
******* people. this is what is wrong with america today – “i want now! wah! **** you if i cant have it!” mentality. grow up.
June 17th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
ahhhhhh … well we had to wait until the 18th in Oz BUT we got the MMS pics …. whoooo hooooo
June 17th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Why is everybody getting upset and ragging on Apple?
The devices shipped from CHINA to the US, right?
Can you spell? C U S T O M S
Mine has been released to shipping and in transit to arrive tomorrow.
Say the mantra: CUSTOMS CUSTOMS CUSTOMS CUSTOMS….
June 17th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
UPS now says on time for 6/18 delivery. I still do not believe a one-day-early delivery will actually happen.
June 17th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
i got the 3.0 on my fone.. i can knew i wasnt getting video cause thats on the 3gs(***) but i cant send or reseve picture text…WTF!!!! DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG??
June 17th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
