Afishionados,

Another year has gone by, and with it another summer has arrived. And what’s summer without a new iPhone, right? Unless you have been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve heard that the new iPhone 3G S was released yesterday, June 19. I was not privy to the excitement this year, but I read that lines were much shorter than last year.

Either nobody wants the new iPhone 3G S, or (what I think is more likely) more folks simply pre-ordered and had it shipped to their house. Honestly, free overnight shipping form China or wait in line overnight to maybe get one. Which would you choose? Still, exact sales figures have yet to be released, but I bet Apple sells a shitload of them.

Of course, while it seems that Apple was well-prepared for this year’s mad rush of the iPhone, AT&T is still running the oldest servers in the world and are experiencing difficulties in activating the new iPhones for use on their network. Some recent iPhone buyers, when attempting to activate their new phone, have been greeted with this “Frequently Asked Questions” support page in iTunes:

Well, I sure hope that clears things up for you. Feel free to add… um… revisions to the FAQ in the comments below.
