Apple's iPhone Activation Servers Again Experiencing Outage
Apple appears to be experiencing another problem with its systems today, as a number of MacRumors readers have reported they are unable to activate their new iPhones. Other reports are showing up on Twitter as the problems continue.
An AT&T employee has told MacRumors that some Apple Retail Stores are sending customers to AT&T stores, but indicated that those locations are having similar activation issues.
There is no word yet on when users can expect the issue to be fully resolved, but a similar outage occurred two weeks ago.
