Despite some mixed signals at their retail meeting last night,
Apple has now updated their retail website at
http://www.apple.com/retail, indicating that the
iPhone 3G will be launched at 8 a.m. at
Apple retail stores on July 11th.
AT&T had previously announced an 8 a.m. launch time for the
iPhone 3G launch, but we had not had official word from
Apple. 8 a.m. is earlier than either of the retail shops typically open.
AppleInsider offers some additional tidbits from the retail meeting that took place on Sunday night. Of interest:
- Valid ID required. Social Security Number for those who are new to
AT&T.
- It remains unclear how existing non-
iPhone AT&T will be processed.
- Business customers must go to an AT&T store.
- FamilyTalk plan buyers must purchase at least 2
iPhones, or have an existing
iPhone to be used in the plan.
- More details expected throughout the week.
