iPhone OS 3.0 Update – NOT delayed

Today, is OS 3.0 launch day. Or so we were led to believe by Apple…
There has been much confusion about the release date / time for the iPhone OS 3.0 update.

This is because the official Apple site suddenly displayed that it was available on the 18th (see below)

That’s what a bunch of people on twitter suddenly started tweeting….
and, displaying the URL to prove it!

This apparent update, created a whole whirlwind on various news sites about a delay… however, it seems that this date is correct.
In Singapore.

If we take a look at the URL in the address bar, where this date is displayed:

Yes, the /sg/ represents the Singapore version of the site, which, due to the international date line, will receive the update tomorrow.

Checking the www.apple.com/uk/iphone/softwareupdate site, shows what I would expect: Available June 17th.

What time, however, is anyone’s guess.

I’ve heard rumours of 3pm, 6pm, 9pm…. so I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
