Did you get a new iPhone 3G S from AT&T and is having a hard time activating it? Well, here’s a little consolation for all the trouble you’re getting with your brand new AT&T iPhone 3G S. Apple is giving away $30 worth of iTunes Store credit to compensate for the delayed activation of your newly acquired Apple mobile phone. They’ve sent out an email to affected buyers informing them of their plans. Qualified iPhone 3G S owners should receive an email from Apple on Monday telling that they now have $30 iTunes Store credit. Along the way, they more or less point the finger to AT&T as the culprit behind the failed activations. While we’re not exactly sure if AT&T is the only one to blame here, we at least applaud Apple for their prompt response to address the whole situation.

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
