iPhone OS 3.0 Software Update Release Time At 1PM PDT?

June 17th, 2009

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!
