Apple iPhone 3.0 release time rumors
Filed under: Cell Phone Information, Cell Phones
Yesterday we posted information on the new iPhone 3.0 firmware update and asked “what’s the release time?”, today the update is still not available at the time of writing and rumors about the iPhone 3.0 release time are coming in.
Below are some of the tips we have received in relation to the new iPhone 3.0 software and when iPhone owners think it may be coming. Have a read and let us know if you have seen the update or know any solid information.
“Apple is located on the west coast, so the earliest you’ll see 3.0 go live is 3:00 am eastern time” It’s exactly what I thought.
I work for apple iphone and the software will not be released till tomorrow am 6am west coast time you should be able to start downloading 3.0 from itunes.
Apple never posts release times, I have noticed they launch mid morning to avoid an extreme server load, so people will download it as they get up and with the time zones it will help even out the server load.
I’m assuming it will be released at 12:00:01 AM PT, due to Apple HQ being in Cupertino, CA.
When I rang O2 in the UK earlier the man said the update was probably going to be online at 6pm (BST), 5pm (GMT)!
If you seen the download for iPhone 3.0 then let us know in this post, or leave a comment below with any rumors you have about the release time.

I was on Yahoo Answers, and someone said that “..it is planned to be released at midnight. Expect it to first start coming around 12-1 A.M.”
12:22 am tucson,az, still nothing
2:41 am Los Angeles time. Nada…
based on the recent finding that Singapore’s release date is the 18th and India’s release date is still the 17th for OS3 for the Iphone. I am predicting that the software will be available between noon and 130 pm tomorrow
Been assured 100% by o2 customer service here in UK, that its gonna be 6pm GMT tonight before itunes UK enables update for 3.0.
Makes sense to stagger the release to prevent huge server usage..
so, im back off to bed. Stayed up farrrr too long for this f*#*#*g update!
Rumour gong round that its been delayed till 18th June. Re-phoned o2 UK and they say thats true but not for UK customers!!
THen again, o2 once told me that my name was Christina rather than Chris… and i most definatly sound like a man..
its 10am gmt, like every piece of apple software, all the time zones are correct then (within 17th june)
3:43am Central, still nothing.
I’m in Webster Massachusetts, and it’s 5:00 a.m. here (eastern time) and still………..NOTHING
