On Monday, you will receive an email from the Apple iTunes Store credits amounting to $ 30. We hope that you enjoy this gift and accept our apologies for any inconvenience this has caused the delay.

Thank you for choosing Apple.

Apple representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

During the June launch of new iPhone customers, while trying to complete the required activation process in store, AT & T activation servers are overloaded slow line Apple Store in the index, and finally crashed servers entirely. Apple will soon ditch in store activation and was simply "unbricking" phones, consumer information to enable them home and not to hold the line because of crashed servers.

In contrast to the frenzied first day of salts and the original iPhone last year's 3G iPhone, Friday marked the beginning of a much smaller crowd and the silence of a smartphone debut.

One analyst expects Apple to sell 500,000 iPhones this weekend. About half as many phones as Apple sells when it launched 3G iPhone, Apple, but it sells the phone in 21 countries on the first day. In comparison, S 3G iPhone will be sold in eight countries in its first day.
