New iPhone 3.0 Update: Do you see the download?

New iPhone 3.0 Update: Do you see the download?

By: Peter Chubb | June 17, 2009 | 32 Comments

What time will iPhone 3.0 be available? This is the big question today, with Apple only saying that it will be sometime today (June 17, Wednesday).” I have been on my iTunes now for about an hour and I have been clicking update every five minutes, but still nothing.

We do not understand why Apple have not informed anyone what time the download will be made available, but one thing is certain, when it is here, Apple’s servers will get hit very hard. If anyone can see the download yet or if they know what time it is coming, then please let us know by adding your comment below.

The new iPhone 3.0 OS will come with 100 new features, which aims to make the iPhone better than ever. Some of the updates will only work with the new iPhone 3G S, which is due for release on June 19. One of the features that will only work on the new handset is the voice control.

As of writing this article, I have pressed update about four times in iTunes, but still nothing. I can see myself getting bored with doing this after a while, but I need to try this new iPhone 3.0 update out.

    Give it another 35 minutes man, its not the 17th in California, I’m in Georgia and was praying that it was gonna be eastern time, but I’m betting 12am in Cali. If not expect like 6 or 9, but those would be stupid on apple’s part because this will let the traffic smooth a little. i do feel sorry when for the IT guys when it releases.

  • Tony

    Ok guess i was wrong, im going to sleepp. it’ll be ready when i wake up

  • Matt

    Same with me, I live at the most eastern part of north america, so June 17th hits us first. I checked at 12:00AM my time, and no update so i figured it must of been at 12:00AM Cupertino time. So far it\’s currently 12:12 AM in Cupertino and still no update.

    Call me antsy, but your 4 click to update is surmassed by my about 400 clicks of update. I don\’t know how much longer i can pull this out seeming it\’s about 4:45 AM here now.

    i hope it is release soon, all i know is iTunes is giving me the whole \”Your iPhone software is up to date. iTunes will automatically check for an update on 24/06/09.\” I really hope apple doesnt disapoint.

    Sorry for the above post and the spelling / punctuality error’s. It’s been a late night, and i had to copy-paste which put in all the annoying back-slashes.

    C’mon apple – what time is it available?????

    It’s the 17th June already!

  • Steve Jobs

    We’re on it very soon. Hang in their my friends. You’re gonna love it!

  • stuart

    I am in the UK and there is no sign of the update happening yet. It will be interesting to see if apple techs can cope with the inital demand when ever they do decide to make it available.

  • Cesc

    Spain 11.00 AM. No update so far… Aiming for patience… :-)

  • Reed

    Nothing yet… Come on Apple, it’s time to launch it so that those of us that want to miss the rush can get it…

  • AlbionSC

    3:28 PST in Cali still nothing

  • Mike M

    Its 6:42 here (eastern time) and still no update. I want it NOW lol

  • Keyser

    Is it June 17th everywhere yet? WTF?

  • Joe

    I read somewhere that the update will be ready today at 8AM (U.S. Eastern time).

  • J Winfey

    This makes me not want to deal with Apple. I am going to ride to work, laptop open, wireless card on deck, and checking for the update. How crazy is that? Plus, I am going to get the new IPhone 3gs on Friday. Is that even crazier? If I get it, I might give my 16gb Iphone to my wife, then she will give her 8 gb to our 15 year old.

  • Jacqueline

    Well its 1.45pm in London UK and no upgrade yet!
    I looked on the O2 website which is the carrier for iphone this side of the pond and it gives instructions on how to prep your iphone for ‘this evening’.
    Guess the rumours that it will be released around 5 or 6pm GMT could be correct …..

  • Alex

    I heard that the update will release at noon but i dont know what time zone is it in maybe Pacific but no luck either

  • Mike

    I did a few researchs, mostly I read about are saying it comes at 1pm eastern time (I lived in Ohio.) Hope this help.

  • Lauren

    There was some article I saw this am on the ‘unlock’ for 3.0 being available Friday. I’m trying to find it again and if so I’ll post it. I’m hoping I’m wrong though….

  • Tom

    From another site….

    Today all hungry iPhone users should see the iPhone OS 3.0 update released, but for iPhoner’s in the UK it is still a few hours away and should arrive in the UK between 5 and 7PM according to Pocket-lint.

    Obviously lucky iPhoner’s over in the States will hit iPhone OS 3.0 first with an estimated arrival time of about 2:30PM in New York. Europe should see iPhone OS 3.0 hit between 4 and 6PM.

    The word is that due to time differences, Apple Singapore will gain the iPhone OS 3.0 update on the 18th but Apple India is scheduled for the 17th.

    Just looking at the O2 website in the UK for info, at the top of this page
    http://shop.o2.co.uk/update/steps.html
    it says get your iphone ready for this evening. Suggesting we have at least an hour to go, probably not till 6pm or even 7. But it wont be out yet, so calm yourself everyone, have drink, put your feet up (or get back to work in my case) and dont ruin your day waiting for it!

  • Trev Bird

    It is now 15.45 in the UK and still no update! What is happening…….
