iPhone OS 3.0 Software Update Release Time At 1PM PDT?
Big confusion today regarding the iPhone OS 3.0 release time as the Singapore website showed that the software update will be available as of June 18. Well, now that everything has been cleared up, we were anxiously waiting for the iPhone OS 3.0 to be released today, June 17. As Apple didn’t announce an official time, users are refreshing the page like crazy as they really want the software, and who doesn’t?
The iPhone OS 3.0 will bring a lot of new features that should have been available a long time ago, but Apple decided to let the users waiting because the smartphone would still sell even if it lacks a lot of features. And it did, the original iPhone sold in million, and it was followed by the iPhone 3G last year. Well, now that the iPhone 3G S has been announced, consumers already bought all pre-order units available as the smartphone will feature the iPhone OS 3.0.
Rumors say that the iPhone OS 3.0 Software Update will be available at 6:00PM in London (GMT), meaning 1:00PM in New York (PDT), and 19:00 in Central Europe. Also, according to Richard Lai, the software should be available sometime between 17:00 and 19:30 in London. Another report says that carrier 3 in Hong Kong has sent an SMS to all iPhone users that the iPhone OS 3.0 will be available on June 18 at 1:00AM local time.
So I guess it’s 1PM PDT. We’ll be watching closely so stay tuned!

you say 1:00 “PDT”, referring to new york time. isn’t that EASTERN time?
PDT is SF, not NYC. NYC is EST. PDT release would be 10:00am. EST release time is 1:00pm
Actually in London it’s British Summer Time (BST) right now, which is GMT+1.
So is it 1 pm EDT or PDT?
Well, spank my ass and call me Charlie…
Actually, Pacific Time (PST) is 3 hours BEHIND Eastern Time, so 1:00 PST (SF) is 4:00 EST (NYC). But anyway, the way the post puts it is very unclear, so we still know nothing.
Now the website says June 18th.
I don’t really understand. why we’r waiting so much time….
New York.. PDT? um, no, NY is EDT/EST. PDT is Pacific Time… since NY is on the ATLANTIC, or EAST COAST, yea… No wonder no one knows the actual release time when there’s people that don’t even know time zones reporting the news.
make up your time people, so what time is it.
well, i’ve seen that it will be released, at 10 am here , and you guys say 1pm, but i’m PRETTY sure it’s 10, so a half hour && go crazy! haha,
relax people, its coming out at eleventyone o’clock
other websites are saying 1PM eastern
Nothing here in pennsylvania
AT&T texted me this morning and said it was a 9am release time. Im starting to feel like a crack head waiting for my fix.
This is a joke. Why does Apple do this BS to everyone? Just release the damn software and get it over with. Are they afraid their servers are going to crash? Ha-ha…
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!
if anyone knew how to read, the rumor is that it will be release 1:00 PM in NY time.
I’d like to chime in about the time zone mix up also…
