Apple Confirms 8am Retail Launch of iPhone 3G





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.

It's also sad when you're an Apple employee posting on this site when you're not supposed to.

It would be great if it was available after midnight on Thursday, but 8am Friday morning is fine too.

The firmware and the App Store- that's what I'm looking forward to.

There would be overnight waiting even if it launched at 6 PM. This is better, so the overnight waiters can leave at 8 AM instead of 6 PM. And I am not a waiter.

::sigh:: this is great and all, but still waiting to see if it even matters to those of us porting over from another carrier. i have t-mobile (contract just ended last month) and i have yet to see a definite statement that the apple store employees will have the ability/know how to port over new customers to ATT.
