iPhone 4s cannot activate after ios7 update

You mean that the installation is complete and the phone won't power on at all? That's disconcerting as I'm in the middle of the installation now.

I didn't offer any advice. I'm already running the installation so I'm hoping I don't have this problem. If anything I was asking him to clarify what he's experiencing. No idea what you thought I meant.
 
Its updated to iOS7 and then when your setting up the phone it says to activate your phone then after about 30secs says cannot activate.
 
Same Issue on a iPhone 4. Won't activate and won't connect to the iTunes store.

Says: Activating your iPhone
It may take a few minutes to activate your iPhone

then after 30 seconds to a minute:

Could not activate iPhone
Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple minutes.

If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support

About 30 minutes of trying and getting the same message.
 
Give it some time, numerous people having the same problem.
 
I don't get the macrumors agenda, they post "activation server down" on random days when it occurs but when a major release breaks apple activation server they don't even mention it. I literally restored because I did not see the error posted on the newspage, I thought gee apple sorted that out with their billions...guess I was wrong.
 
You just have to keep trying, there is nothing else you can do. Yes it can be very frustrating. Call and/or email Apple support about it the odds are slim that they will fix the present issue but maybe they'll be better prepared by the time the next big update/release comes around. This is an ongoing/reoccurring problem.
 
turn your phone off , connect to a proxy or vpn from your pc , connect your phone to pc , use iTunes to activate , it may work ;)
