iPhone 3.0 expected at 6pm BST today despite rumours of delays

Reports earlier on Wednesday suggesting that Apple had delayed the launch of the much-anticipated iPhone 3.0 Software Update worldwide by a day have proved false.

Macworld spotted numerous Twitter tweets Wednesday morning linking to a news report on The Guardian newspaper Web site suggesting Apple had delayed the software roll-out, although that story was quickly taken down.

The iPhone 3.0 software update has only been delayed by a day in Singapore, but the localised story suddenly became a worldwide delay, something that Apple wouldn't be happy to announce.

The update is still on course to be released at 6pm BST today, 10am PT, 1pm EDT in the US.
