Apple Releases iPhone 3.0 To the General Public, Available Via iTunes

Michael Johnston · June 17th, 2009, 01:23 PM

And... it's live! Apple has officially released iPhone 3.0 to the general public. It can be downloaded through iTunes by clicking the "Check for Updates" button in the iPhone source page. It's available for both original iPhone and iPhone 3G owners at no cost. iPod touch owners can get the update for $9.95.

In case you were curious, the version available in iTunes carries the same build number (7a341) as the GM developer seed.

This is a day I've been waiting for since I heard about the new update. Now I have to just get off work to get it. If I knew that the 3.0 software that was leaked last week was going to be the same that Apple released, I would have downloaded it. But all and all I'm happy it's finally here.

After updating to iPhone 3.0 my VoiceMail stopped working any solution ???

madscientest · **My biggest complaint...** - June 17th, 2009, 02:16 PM #7

bluetooth audio is not that great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 years of waiting for this?

reason 1: every 20-30 seconds it hiccups...not cool at all
reason 2: it does not support MONO(if you hook up a headset that does not have A2DP you cant push audio to it. WTF?) i can listen to a phone call or vm but no MUSIC!!!!! bullsh1t

Come on apple, why cant you get it RIGHT.

Come on iphone 4.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or at least 3.5 or something.

madscientest · **Also...** - June 17th, 2009, 02:20 PM #8

I still cant even hook up my Apple computer to my iPhone via bluetooth to transfer files.........or ANYTHING else.

LAME : (

Haven't you seen the signs posted here? Don't feed the madscientist ;-D

dieselpower44 · June 17th, 2009, 02:58 PM #11

hey, find a friend with an iPhone and plug in your touch to their iTunes and you get it for free. Apple started giving iPod Touch owners the update for free if they owned an iPod too.
plug in, click update and BAM, updated.
tested first hand by me cos I have both so I know it works

madscientest · **On second thought** - June 17th, 2009, 03:07 PM #12

When i had the 3.0 GM my bluetooth was working, once i upgraded to the REAL 3.0 my bluetooth wont come on, the 10 seconds that it did come on, it wont connect to anything, and my wi-fi signal wont stay active. every 30 seconds or so it goes back to 3G when my signal is strong

3.0 SUCKS!!!

madscientest · June 17th, 2009, 03:11 PM #13

its the way apple impleminted the software. they made it way more complicated than it needed to be. the thought of having a list of bluetooth devices and choosing which one to send all audio to is apparently to difficult for apple to grasp. the phone bluetooth connection is DIFFERENT than the A2DP connection? LAME.

I'm excited for third party 10-pin products.

Eurisko · **Typical** - June 17th, 2009, 03:27 PM #15

No matter how good an update is, there's always someone who's going to whine about it.

Moeses · **MMS** - June 17th, 2009, 03:36 PM #16

So i was just on the phone with ATT and they said that MMS wont be available till later this summer?!?!?! Kinda messed up. Hopefully she was jerking me around cause she couldn't figure out why

NewGuy · June 17th, 2009, 04:20 PM #17

Bluetooth stereo. Works. Haven't had the issues as described.

Not too happy how Notes were implemented. I don't use Outlook apparently they sync there (and I don't have a mac....yet). So the note app will be the least used app still. I use it to store info that I need to recall later like account numbers or telecon meeting numbers....benign stuff.

Push Notifications. i don't know if these work for me....if anyone knows an App that currently has this feature let me know. So far all the advertised or demo'd apps don't work. Or I am just a moron and don't know how to turn it on.

this is correct.. NO MMS for ATT iphone owners until further notice/late summer. I didnt see anything signifficantly impressive about the update other than wanting MMS and if i cant have it now, i think i'll wait and keep my jailbroken 2.2.1 version. theres always bugs in the first release of new firmware anyway.. i'm sure we'll see several pissed off posts within the next few days..

so far the 3.0 GM release worked better than the so called real version.

once i upgraded, my bluetooth wont turn on, the tethering hack will not work, my wi-fi cuts in and out.
