Ok, so EE have royally shafted me! Promised the world and delivered a map of the world they promised me!
iPhone 8+ 64gb is out for delivery tomorrow, not on the PM delivery they promised me!
Watch S3 is expected between 1st October and 21st October - this despite the Ops Manager promising me he had bumped me to 'near the top' and promising me delivery tomorrow.
Needless to say the website still states delivery for tomorrow if ordered today!

Mines meant to be coming tomorrow from Carphone Warehouse with DPD. Ordered it over the phone and they said they’re won’t be any tracking until the morning of the day it’s being delivered so I just hope it is tomorrow and not while I’m at work!

They are good though of you could get the older version which is £23.

The envelope I received from them the other day contained a shipping label for free shipping but suggested that I organise Special Delivery myself if i was concerned about the value of the goods inside. Free delivery only covers goods up to £100:
Sadly you got to pay for the good ones
I wouldn’t buy a cheap wireless charger not if you want future fast charging
That second Sammy one isn’t going to provide future wireless fast charging though. It’s capped at 1A (if the images on the Amazon page are accurate).
The charger I just got is 2A for £17. The one Azzin just got is 1A for £11.
What’s the output of the £44 one you posted? I can’t find it anywhere on that page.
For those that have a suitable power supply, this one is £17:

(shudders at the though of using a Samsung charger with my £1000 Apple toy)
...wow - that one looks the nicest out of all I've seen so far on Amazon!
I'm guessing all of the Qi chargers then, all do the same thing, with the only difference being, the speed at which they charge?!

It’s pretty nice. Mine arrived a couple of days ago. Its got a dim blue line at the bottom when I plug it in, which I assume changes colour as the phone charges.
Slightly O/T but... has anyone got or had any experience with the Belkin valet charge dock? https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/produ...t-charge-dock-for-apple-watch-iphone?fnode=97
I’m thinking of picking one up tomorrow when I’m in store getting my 8+.

I use an Anker 6 port USB charger when I travel (it has a 'figure of 8' lead that is removable and I just change to for one that's suitable for the country I'm travelling to), but I've just seen this:

I've bought a wireless charger before via amazon you do pay for what you get i got one for the s8+ which is now replaced by the s note 8 and it works fairly well but sometimes if its not aligned exactly you can find its not charged.
i'm hoping the new apple power due out next year will be as good as they suggest. I will have 4 different things that could use the wireless charger so a multiple option charger would be ideal for me.

Look at the small print....
USB-C Port does not support USB-C to Lightning cables.

I've got the Apple 29w (USB C) charger on my desk, with a USB C to Lightning cable, that I use to charge my 7+ or 12.9" IPP if I need a fast charge while I'm in here (not that often if I'm honest).
That's going to become a little redundant I think, as I'm going to put a one of my (non fast) wireless chargers in here, for standard/convenient charging when I'm in here.
I'll still use the Apple one when I need a 'quick boost', but I'll use this wireless charger in my office and the JETech one next to the bed.

Good spot, I wonder why?
Presumably, it would power a faster charging wireless charger via USB C to Micro USB??
[Edit] - Apparently, it charges a Nexus 6P at 'full whack' using the USB C port, so it must be a Lightning specific issue that prevents it charging iPhones/iPads using that port?
Licensing?

....please don't tell me you have your 8 already?!!!
[doublepost=1505996760][/doublepost]I just received an email from Envirofone confirming (after I emailed them to clarify) that the lock in price is ONLY valid, 14 days from the date of me selling them my device!
I sold my device on 12th Sep, so 9 days ago. That means I MUST send in my iPhone 7 on Monday, to even be within the 14 day window (Special Delivery on Monday guarantees next day delivery, for Tuesday).
Thats cutting it TOO fine for me.....
I'm currently enquiring if I can extend.....
