Apple Issuing $30 iTunes Store Credit For iPhone 3GS/AT&T Activation Snafu

Following iPhone 3GS/AT&T activation delays that were in some cases 48 hours long, Apple has allegedly responded with a $30 “We’re sorry” gift that will be good at the iTunes Store on Monday.

Notification came by way of an email, which we’ve seen from Giz readers as well as around the Net this weekend:

So, on the one hand you’re going to get $30 in free stuff from Apple on Monday. On the other hand you could be one of the unlucky saps on the far end of this issue who’s about to experience 96 hours without a phone. Worse still, your new iPhone 3GS could be singing to you right now too. [Thanks, Patrick, et al]
