Posted July 25, 2013 at 4:35pm by
It seems that Apple's own iTunes activation servers for activating iPhones is currently experiencing issues.

Many people across the web have been reporting that they are unable to activate their iPhones are multiple attempts.


Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again a couple of minutes

No word from Apple on the issue. Are you currently experiencing any difficulties activating your iPhone?

Update: Some users are reporting this issue has been fixed.

I bet that Apple was testing the new anti-theft activation process.

That's because they just activated iOS 7 Beta 4 internally. It will clear up in a few minutes.
