Our readers keep asking what the release time is of the Apple iPhone 3.0 OS when it is launched tomorrow, June 17, 2009. I have now been searching for some time now and just cannot seem to find any details on this.
I will keep searching through the night to see what the release times are for each country, but if someone out there has any information on this, then we kindly ask if you could let us and our readers know by placing a comment below.
The new iPhone 3.0 OS is expected to bring with it 100 new features, so far we only know a handful of them. Let us hope by this time tomorrow we will get to see all of these updates in action on our iPhone. Some of the new features will only work on the new iPhone 3G S, which will be released on June 19.
AT&T are said to already be preparing for the new OS, well appart from MMS.
