You can refresh all you want but that won't make the 3.0 update for your iPhone appear any faster. In fact, you might want to give your trigger finger a rest for a few hours --
Engadget bud, Richard Lai, noted in a tweet that Apple's Singapore site says that the iPhone OS 3.0 update will release on the 18th while Apple India says the 17th,
the date announced by Apple -- the difference presumably accounting for the 2.5-hour timezone offset between the two countries. That would peg an OS 3.0 release anytime between 1700 and 1930 in London or between noon and 2:30pm in New York. But don't let a little knowledge ruin your obsessive behavior, where's the fun in that?
Update: The theory is supported by reports that carrier
3 in Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS
notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That's 1pm on the 17th in New York, 6pm in London, and 1900 in central Europe.[Via

Why not just get it from bittorrent? The final version has been out for over a weekish not.
Come on already, I just can't wait!
You can find the stuff online I think using the torrent version is going to lock your device as a test unit... I think it has something to do with being a developer's version.
O2 have told me that release time in the UK is 6pm if that helps.
LOL! gotta love our Apple!! HAHA! always with the suspense! :D
LOL, the first thing I did when I woke up was check for the update. Now I'm stuck at work for the next 8 hours.
Apple has it officially posted on their website: "Available June 18th"
I just checked it on the U.S. site and it still says the 17th...

Why does Apple like to torture us? lol I'm sitting in class dying for 3.0. AT&T better get their stuff together and get MMS and tethering ASAP. U.S. Cellphone companies are so behind =/
Weird, this site says the 18th:

Matt, your link is for apple.com/sg if you look at the bottom, it says
"Copyright © 2009 Apple Asia Ltd. All rights reserved."
JohhnyB's link doesn't have the sh and at the bottom says
"Copyright © 2009 Apple Inc. All rights reserved."
LOL, you're absolutely correct. Serves me right for blindly clicking Twitter links. Bury my comment.
It's already up on Apple servers...

Ooops never mind, that is the 3G S version.
Calm down everyone :eek: .... I'm twitchy enough without you lot getting me even jumpier LOL
Rumour press has it that UK will see it at 6pm, thats 1pm New York. That is all based on reports that carrier 3 in Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That's 1pm on the 17th in New York, 6pm in London, and 1900 in central Europe.
Is this what it feels like to be in the RDF?
Haha- guilty as charged. F5'd about 10 times before checkin good ol' Engadget for the nasty truth..
AAAAAAHHHH C'mon Apple!!!! I need my daily fix! So that once i get it, I'll be excited for 5 minutes and then go back to work with nothing else to look forward to - just like every Christmas when i was a kid!
But we are in Daylight Savings right now. So if it Launches 1pm EST in New York, than as of right now it wont launch actually till 2pm (EDT) in New York. Making it 11am MST for me in Arizona! Grrr.....Ive lost enough sleep from anticipation already!
yea I'm by lower NYC and i was up till like 130ish am trying to see if it would be available at midnight.... W&^()(*F*&^%$ its already 12:30 and I still havent got an update on my iPhone.... sighs

Downloading in PA...
Are there two packages to update? I hope it's not screwed up. I got first iPod Update with 277.7MB and now iPod Software Update with 257.8MB. It's taking loooong on the second one, half done and 18 min to go. Yes, iPod Touch waiting for two main things: bluetooth and shake to shuffle. I also wish for something that allows me to remove any icon on this thing. I'm scary to go illegal, so I'll wait for apple.
yeah boyeeeeeeeeeeee
It's up. I had to quit and start Itunes again for it to show up. It requires ver 8.2 itunes btw.
currently downloading. Looks like I have about 10 minutes remaining. Went live here at 1:10p
Columbus, OH
What link are you seeing the download available or in iTunes? Some people are not seeing the same thing obviously.
OK. The website should show "Upgrading is Easy" on the OS 3.0 page. It says to use iTunes 8 to get the software. Click check for updates there and it will start the process. iTunes must not check every time (cached requests or something) since the response was very fast everytime I clicked and then the last time it actually sent packets out (snoop) and returned that the 3.0 software was available. You may be able to restart iTunes and get the same effect if you can't wait.
Just my experience...
