The Official Staying up Until Midnight for 3.0 Thread.

I may be jumping the gun here, but they dropped the ball in that their servers will move like molasses with such a late day release. An early morning release would have freed up the servers. Remember me saying this, as we'll more than likely wait a good hour+ just for the download.

I agree had the done a system server release of 12 am releases they would have freed up so much potential down time, now everyone business users and us that have stayed up all night will hit it all at once... apple server goes *clunk* just like last year.

I guess I'm more coming from a developers standpoint, where we don't push updates like that until we have our support staff in the office ( though for us that's 5am PST ).

I understand that making the update available at midnight PST may have alleviated some server congestion, but I think there will be congestion regardless of the time it's made available.

This is amusing to watch. Every time the top of the hour approaches, someone invokes some kind of contorted logic to conclude that the release must happen any minute now. Because customer service will be open in Tuvalu, or something.

It's a software release, not a space shuttle launch. It'll be out when it's out.

Of course I'm hitting the "Check for Update" button every few minutes, just like everyone else...

There wasn't congestion last year when 2.0 came out in the early morning, which is why I'm frustrated. I updated mine early in under 45 minutes, my girlfriend waited until mid-afternoon and it took her over 2+ hours.

Hahah, so very true. Love the honesty!

So if 10am PST/ 1pm EST goes by and no update, what will be the next guesstimate?

i would probabaly say they'll just spring it at a random period, no on the hour time, mid-afternoonish near 3 if it's not out in 30 mins

something that got me excited was the Apple - iPhone - New features in the iPhone 3.0 Software Update. page was down a minute ago due to changes. so maybe a new page saying out now here soon?

I wonder how that one guy who had his alarm set to go off every hour past midnight is doing? ROFL. Fail.

It came up fine for me and looks the same.

I think it might not be responding every now and then because of all these millions of people trying to access it in hope for some info about the update

that is very possible, i just hope its here in 30 mins

 

[Nivel]

Lol, I can't believe this thread has already 50 pages. And that's all in just 24 hrs!

 

[hermdog]

Based on the fact that the last couple of predictions have been wrong I'm guessing it's not going to happen at 1pm EST. I hope I am wrong.

 

[bhaiboleto]

22 min...no ifs, no butts...for sure 22 min

 

[Nivel]

Release time is one thing, what really bothers me is the download time... For some reason I feel like it's gonna be 2hrs+...

 

[dakpluto]

Even my "Check for Update" is starting to hang.....lots of people trying to download now.

 

[OmariJames]

Now that i think about it. I think apple wanted a Global iPhone OS 3.0 release ... IDK if they could now handle the load compared to last year. I think that's what they wanted to do.
