Clearly the high sales of iPhone 3GS have caused Apple's iTunes Activation Servers to fail this weekend. As a result some customers we left for more than 48 hours with no iPhone.

Apple, being the lovely people that they are, have offered a $30 iTunes voucher to get people going. Personally I think they did it on purpose. What better way to get all new iPhone users in to the habit of shopping on iTunes than with a $30 voucher for all customers.

Genius (if its true!)

The email from Apple:

Dear Apple Customer,

Thank you for your recent Apple Store order. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delay in your iPhone activation.

We are still resolving the issue that was encountered while activating your iPhone with AT&T. Unfortunately, due to system issues and continued high activation volumes, this could take us up to an additional 48 hours to complete.

On Monday, you'll receive an email from Apple with an iTunes Store credit in the amount of $30. We hope you will enjoy this gift and accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this delay has caused.

Thank you for choosing Apple.

Sincerely,
Apple Online Store Team
