"Could Not Activate iPhone" message. HELP

Same here, I'm sure its because the influx of people trying to get it but I would like an official answer and fix to this issue.

I have same issue on both iPad and iPhone...for the last two hours.

you just answered your own question. Until server load eases up really not much you can do.

my ipad mini just activated over wifi. after trying for 2 hours

I'm having this problem too, until I can activate it my iPhone is bricked 😟

Technically its not "bricked" its just in a non usable state. Bricked you might as well throw it at a wall. Keep trying. Just imagine shoving a watermelon through a garden hose... thats what Apples servers feel like.

Thank god im not the only one, i did a master reset on my phone like 3 hours ago and its asking me to reactivate my phone. Ive tried doing it over wifi, i tried using cellular data. i thought i was going to have to get a new phone and im trying to aviod getting off my couch. Is there a time frame that says how long this is going to last or how long its going to take for people to be able to activate their phone without having to go through this crap.

Mine just did this to me after restoring it. Called AT&T and they told me they can't do anything about it and we just have to wait until the iTunes server is back up. If anyone else has an option, let me know

As people update through the day the servers should start accepting activations more quickly. My iPad mini took 2 hours, I had some friends on the east coast that didnt have any issues at the same time. Just kind of depends on your geographic location to apples activation servers.. I would assume.
