iOS 4 download date/time?

[escapethematrix]

Has apple said when 4.0 will be available for download? Is it midnight tomorrow, later in the week?

it'll likely come online some time in the afternoon or late morning on Monday. Last year it was 1pm. After a little while it was crazy hard to access the servers, but if you just leave your iPhone connected, press update, and it gives you an error message saying it can't access the server, just leave it and it will automatically reattempt until it makes the connection.

Its going to suck to loose my jailbreak for a few days but what the heck, i want to play with 4.0.......fortunately, installing all the jailbreak stuff is fun

No chance they publish iOS 4 secretly late Sunday evening? To avoid the peaks?

Zero chance

Trust me, OS4 is way better than having your phone jailbroken. It's amazing. I was floored by how smooth and fast everything is, every little thing has been improved. And app switching (for me) eliminates the need for most jailbreak programs that I loved, like biteSMS and SBSettings. I will still end up jailbreaking to get those things, but this is definitely holding me over. 4.0 is really awesome.

Well. Should I install the GM candidate today (having a 32 GB iPhone 3GS) to avoid the hanging servers tomorrow, or should I wait? iTunes 9.2 and the appropriate .ipsw files are present...
I am terribly impatient but a bit unsure...

Since multi-tasking and some other stuff in iOS4 are disabled for the 3G, I have enough patience to wait until Thursday when I can pick up my new 4. My 3G won't be upgraded for quite some time...if ever.

...but I have a 3GS...

Just wait...there could be a newer build released tomorrow.

 

[Jellotime91]

Yeah I'd say just wait. It won't be too hard to upgrade.

Thanks a lot. Bet You are right.

Thanks- that's helpful. I am really excited to try this one! It has everything I would want or need and wouldn't even think of JB except I want to tether my iPad so I will be looking forward to the JB on the new phone when it's available. All the great reviews make it even more exciting!

1pm Eastern or Western time? This will make the h... of a difference in Europe, meaning early or late evening...

Eastern. So it would be like 6PM in the UK.

This is what I've been thinking, but really, I'd only lose Backgrounder and themes (that's all I've done with J/B so far).

I know we will get a new j/b for iOS4 at some point, but I wonder if S.J. won't throw some new trick to slow down the hackers?
Tough choice for me. Stay with what I have 'til the dust settles? Or go for the new features, with whatever blessings and curses iOS4 might bring?

Eastern. So it would be like 6PM in the UK.

Or 7PM in Cologne...
Thanks again!

If it's 1 pm eastern, that would fit well with the regular 10 pm western (pacific or whatever) keynote time, right?
