AT&T Inc. said a breakdown in Apple Inc.’s iTunes service prevented customers from activating their new iPhone 3G handsets on July 11th in its stores as planned.

There’s a worldwide issue with iTunes that Apple is working to resolve,” AT&T spokesman Mike Coe said. While Apple is resolving the issue, we’re telling people to sync up to iTunes later at home.” AT&T, Apple’s exclusive U.S. partner, began selling the new iPhone today at its more than 2,000 stores.
