Apple is offering an apologetic $30 iTunes credit for the activation delays for iPhone 3GS. The credit itself will be available on Monday, Apple says. Full text after the break!

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

Again, Apple hit with iPhone activation issues

Following the iPhone 3GS day of June 19, Apple servers are struggling to cope with the demand for activation of the newly released iPhone. The issue recalls similar problems Apple had with the release of the iPhone 3G last year.

“Your activation requires additional time to complete,” reads a message from iTunes for some iPhone 3G S customers. “Due to the current volumes, it may take up to 48 hours to resolve your issue.”

Apple has not responded to press inquiries regarding the delays, and it’s unclear how many customers this is affecting.
