iPhone to Use iTunes for Activation
Monday, June 25th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Apple and AT&T are taking a novel approach to activating the iPhone once purchased. Instead of waiting in a store to complete the process, customers will use iTunes to handle the activation.
The iTunes application, available for both Mac OS X and Windows XP and Vista, will walk users through the process of selecting a service plan, credit authorization, transferring phone numbers from other carriers, and iPhone activation.
Apple states that once the activation is complete, users can sync phone numbers and contacts, calendars, email, Web browser bookmarks, music, photos, as well as TV shows and movies - implying that the device will not perform even basic iPod functions until it is activated.
The iPhone page on the Apple Web site has also been updated and includes a video with a step-by-step demonstration of the activation process.
iPhone will be available at 6 p.m. local time on Friday, June 29, at Apple and AT&T retail stores, and the Apple online store. The 4GB model is priced at US$499, and the 8GB model costs $599.
