iPhone 3.0 Drop Time Update and the Great iPhone 3G S Delivery Date Debate

Well I guess us Australians will just have to go to sleep and wake up with a little present...

i believe it will be 5 am pct

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!

Well. I guess the iPhone developers need some sleep too. Too bad we're all losing sleep over it.

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.

Well its 12:45 pm in uk so thats 4:45 am in cali? and still no 3.0

"OS 3.0 at 19:00 CET" engadget

@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.

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!

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?

I just saw a tweet saying 19.00 set for Europe (Amsterdam)

Looks like we'll have to wait one more day.http://www.apple.com/sg/iphone/softwareupdate/

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. GAY!

That's the Singapore version of the page...they have to wait, not us here in the US...

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

Well folks the official word has hit, due to tech. difficulties at Apple HQ 3.0 will not release for another two weeks.

No we won´t - http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/

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......

Why Tell us one date then another, get ur act together apple!

Its 8:18 orlando Florida, still nothing yet. lame haha

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.

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.

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.

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.

Everyone, From a GD source the update will be lunched 5pm GMT london

Man I'm going to pee my pants in Bangkok waiting for this release...come on baby!

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

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.

Well it's 6am here in San Francisco, CA USA and still nothing.

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.

Wow am I losing alot of sleep because of a stupid update come on aple I wanna go t bed already jesusssss!!!!!

Current GMT: 1:13:41
Only 3 hours 46 minutes 19 seconds left--if that.
Go forth to Pete's or Starbuck's.

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

It's 8pm here in Indonesia, and still waiting.

I just saw on their web site they ve changed the date to june 18th........arggghhhh

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.

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.

http://www.apple.com/sg/iphone/softwareupdate/

It is 1:30 A.M. Friday morning here in Oompappamaumau... I've been watching for this update for 48 hours. Still nothing.

Nothing here in here in Texas

@ Me Kookhttp://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/

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 ?

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?

Let's be honest. We're all lonely. Our mutual love of the iPhone strikes an even deeper chord than LiLo's Twitter photo.

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).

Download the 3.0 Software Update.
Available June 18th.
This is in the apple website!!!!!!!!! I live un Europe wtf?!

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?

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?

Correction, that might be the Singapore site... Either way...

Dying of waiting.

The iphone tech support line doesn't know what time its being released.. lol.

Uhh thank you THunt. I am counting seconds and i have clicked check for update 3000 times :)

Jack shit here in chicago 850am

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

CHICAGO!! 8:55AM Still Nothing!......thanks apple!

I have one of these guys set up to keep clicking my mouse button. I'm going back to bed..
http://www.thedrinkingbird.com/

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.

at 10am est, ive got nothing.

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.

still nothing here in Texas... it's 9:04 cst.

Im so horny for some update action

Download 3.0 from here

Mermejo
dont work

Mermejo...It doesn't work.

Does anyone know if 8.2 is still giving jailbroken phones issues?

6pm London time :) im tellin ya

it does work... copy the entire link...
The download will iniciate right away

Murmejo... Isn't 'iPhone2,1' for the 3gS? If so, that link won't help anybody.

Man apple is some fucktards it wouldve been smart to drop this at 12am and quit posting bullshit links ahem mermejo

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.

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 ass up and and pull the trigger.......... WTF

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.

Have been waiting for it since midnight and still wait.
I'm in Cupertino, CA

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..

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"..

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.

does anyone know if 8.2 is giving jailbroken phones issues?

Vegas probably has odds going for the release.

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

I can't wait until the 3.01 release -- once all the 3.0 bugs are fixed.

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.

Update will be released at 6pm BST :(

Steve Jobs and the people at Apple are very sick people, they enjoy having their customers suffer at their will.

@ Merjerko
You jerk!

Don't call apple, they don't know.

1045 miami time, still no update!!! ughhhhh

wtf is an iphone

I want to txt sideways damnit!

this makes me wanna just download the torrent

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!

i would suck apples d**k at this point for 3.0

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.

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

damn waiting here in Australia.. 12.53 am here
does anyone know where I would be able to download it from the webbrowser itself not itunes?

I just downloaded it...take a look at
http://digiex.net/misc/1675-iphone-ipod-touch-3-0-final-firmware-downloa...3-07a341_restore-ipsw.html
Has all three versions, posted on June 10. Seems to be the real deal.

@ sanfran
You are a fag.

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 ;)

...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

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 ;)

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.

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.

@truth
i will let u take a dump on my chest for 3.0

Everyone quit your whining. Apple owns all you nerds!

Sheep, poor slaves and idiots all have common grounds. Lmfao

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.

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.

tick....tick....tick...tick..........

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.

well its past 10:am central time here and still nada.
and apple is still holding the curtain down.

@divrdrew
That is the GM build...
sigh...do you people listen?

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

man its fricken 10:10 in Louisiana Apple is so pissing me off

3s right, I'm off to work out how to dash mount my tomtom and extend the dice cable

Your right about the bitching and complaining, but it does make me feel better....

Where does it say Learn how to upgrade? Mine still says Available June 17....

@WTF, well if it makes you feel better... that's different...

You guys are a bunch of dopes.

sad news, they cancelled the 3.0 download. No joke.

tgar, have any proof...haha

@tgar: You beat me to it... I was just going to be a dick & say "It's OUT! I'm downloading it in iTunes right now! Hooray! I got it! Yeah!"

Tgar if you are pulling a fast one.......

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 ;)

yea, its a joke sorry guys...........man i'm ready to skip work for this........still waiting.

@ Tgar - you are an idiot

@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.

Boy this is crazy im in class blogging Im an addict

anyone know if this is legit?
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/06...3.07A341_Restore.ipsw

@ ullbergm - don't bother

there takin too long, i got up early today just to find out it got pushed back a day....gay

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.

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

this is bull

Should be 1 hour and a half till the update!!!

Nerds,
What BT goodies is everyone going to buy? Anybody studied the stereo headphone or keyboard offerings yet?

Bluetooth keyboard won't be supported. :(

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

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?

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.

hey bamofo63 where can i get a legit download from? one that isnt going to brick my phone?

pimplepain... where'd you come up with 3 hours again?

14 minutes and counting

Man all apple had to do was give us a specific time that would shut everyone up!

Fred Garvin
That was from ZNET... NOOB

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 :(

its worth the wait man

Finally! Got up at 8 am ET to check been clicking update ever since. Finally out..enjoy guys.

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.

http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/06...3.07A341_Restore.ipsw just got pushed out to their cache servers a few minutes ago. Same build number as their last beta, no idea if its the final.

9am Vancouver BC.....nothing

@Darnell I used that update and am running 3.0 and it worked fine.

Man they gay for this one if they say the 17th then let it be the 17th

4 minutes and counting

Hey i just called apple they said they didnt know what time its being released but u need to close out of itunes for it to pull the update right thats just what the tech guy said dont know if it right or not

I cant wait for them push notifications

it'll come out in an hour and 1 min.
i put money on it.

9:01am nothing lol...

11:00 here in texas and nothing

u put money on it to come out at 1201, i ust checked still nothing, yall just wait itll be 1pm shese lol

what is everyones guess on the time???

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.

in 51 minutes

no no i lied. waiting for thailand and other asian countries.

Man.. The last time I waited with so much anticipation was when my son was born!...

My guess is 12 AM CST.

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...

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?

9am California now, i'll bet they're getting ready to roll it out now 50 mins i bet

First iPhone 2G customers bitch 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 bitch 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 bitches 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

Hey Rai it will out 6pm London Time just hang in there for another 50 mins or so

@cityandcolour88: India doesn't go to the 18th for the next 2 hours and 25 minutes

@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...

so i think that apple just needs to release everything at 12 o'clock in the morning no matter what your time zone is

Man I werked all night last night expecting to b able to get tha update when i got off at 7a.m CT-US ! :( Broke ma Mouses clicker, checking for updates a billion times ! ! ! Still nothing I've been up since 5 pm yesterday ! ! ! wish I could take a nap, but I can't sleep ! ! ! :) tooooooooo excited ~ ~

awwwwwww man,geeees, cool,, holy.....wow......i spilled some coke.

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.

@Niwton. I'm aware of my mistake. Posted that its Thailand and such that we're waiting on.

http://www.gsmarena.com/iphoneos30updatetofinallyhiteverybodyat6pmlondon_time-news-979.php

40 minutes.

did u know organized crime counts for about 10% of the USA's annual income?

10.00 AM Cupertino time is the time when the floodgates shall open and millions and billions of hungry, OS-thirsty people of this world shall let loose upon Apple Software Update 3.0...is my guess

@ Alex: Wow... can you imagine what Russia, Mexico or any number of Latin country's annual income from organized crime is?

Just had an SMS from O2 in the UK stating that the update will be available "this evening"; whatever that means?

did you know when you brag about your money people find you arrogant and youll never no true happiness! just a thought

poopie :) Still anxiously waiting ! Yaaa Yaaa Trick Yaaa LOL's

This is ridiculous. No update yet? WTF Apple?

@alex
I did not know that. Did you know that organized crime accounts for 100% of the mobster population?

OMG everyone is just sitting around tweaking their nip.ples in anticipation... Can anyone else feel their iPhone trembling?

i did!!! did you know rats can tell the difference between 2 human languages

Last night my wife told me I was crazy for getting excited about an update. I am starting to believe her.

27 min.

11:34 here in Oklahoma
been over 9 hours since it should have been released.

last night i stayed up till 12 just in case and i got bored so i made chicken nuggets woo!!!!

YEAH, I'M FOAMING OUT THA MOUTH ! SO PITIFUL ! 30 MINUTES ????

In the beginning, G-d created the nerd and the iPhone

~20 minutes

Go here:
http://phobos.apple.com/version
Scroll about halfway down. Grab the file.

20 min till update from what many sources are saying lets see what happens

When it comes, I just hope Apple's servers are ready. This is going to be on for the record books!

so what happens if you get a call in the middle of the update??

YEAH IT PROLY WONT HAPPEN ! ! ! AND THEN IT'LL B ANOTHER 2 MOTHER FREAKIN HOURS ! ! ! ISHT ! ! !

12:41pm est. nothin yet

@alex
I did not know that. Did you know that rats can distinguish between their own language and the sound of garbage trucks passing?
Yeah, I was up until 2am (midnight PT). When it didn't happen then, I just went to sleep... but it was very restless... kind of like this:

this update better be worth it I have apps that havent been updated anyone knows if that will cause issues, the last update i launched an app and I had to restore my phone

@Axsisdnied: Your phone 'splodes.

@ Entspeak yes sir it might

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?

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...

probably no need to close iTunes as long as your signed in to your account, they should give a prize to the first download

Does anyone know if you have to close itunes between checking for an update?

@ Fred
Guess you'll know in about 10 minutes.

http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/06...3.07A341_Restore.ipsw
Copy the link and paste into a browser. The link is different from the last one (2,1_3.0 instead of 2,13.0)

they really should have made voice control a 3g upgrade that has to be software driven

@entspeak yay i couldnt watch the vid my comp. is being dumb... its microsoft so no surprise ther...... :D

@Entspeak
rotfl!

@DLo
I think you have it wrong. It is the 3GS that doesn't have that many "new" features compared to the 3G!

its 18:50 in denmark.. still no update yet :/ im not mad.. but sad.. hope it'll arrive as soon as possible :D

Hold on - this site is stripping the underscore!
Try this: http://tinyurl.com/m8f77n

http://tinyurl.com/m8f77n
Works.

@ Jocko: That is a 3Gs file. Wont' do anyone here any good.
@ DLo: Yes, but unfortunately, I'm not eligible to upgrade to the 3Gs for another year (at which point, there will likely be newer version of the phone coming), so I'll take my thrills where I can get them.

@Jocko - that's 3gS software...
