Apple gives $30 to iPhone 3G S customers

iPhone 3G S customers in the US experienced delays with the activation of their new iPhones, with some taking as long as 48 hours to activate.

As a result, Apple has promised affected customers vouchers for $30 iTunes Store credit.

The letter, sent to new iPhone 3G S customers who have experienced problems, reads as follows:

“Thank you for your recent Apple Store order. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delay in your iPhone activation.

“We are still resolving the issue that was encountered while activating your iPhone with AT&T. Unfortunately, due to system issues and continued high activation volumes, this could take us up to an additional 48 hours to complete.

“On Monday, you’ll receive an email from Apple with an iTunes Store credit in the amount of $30. We hope you will enjoy this gift and accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this delay has caused.”

iPhone 3G S activations shouldn’t take more than two hours, although moving from other mobile phone networks could mean the transition takes up 48 hours.
