Definitely pinkish under artificial light. Even the back seems a little pink. Constantly changing. Will give it while to decided whether to keep it

My screen has no squiggle, just the ‘your parcel’s journey’ table. Oh well, thanks for your help.
Here she is (something as beautiful as this could only be female, unless it's Adonis!) Like I said, the gold is subtle, not in the least bit blingy. Feels like my 6 in the hand, but I can see a diffrence in colours and clarity, even though I think the screen res etc is the same? The speed is a big improvement; Touch ID is lightning fast. Not sure I like the haptic home button compared to the old mechanical one, though.
I'm going to take the dog for a walk now and check out the camera.

Depends on the light - most of the time I think it looks 'coppery'. I don't think it looks feminine any more than Rose Gold did
Anyone else notice a VERY slight ‘halo’ around the Apple Logo? Assume it’s light refraction when held at just the right angle. Not an issue but once seen I can’t unsee!
Cheers for that.
Had a look and it seems that I didn't add AppleCare to the phone when I got it. Must have forgot to add it. I did on the other one I got at the same time. Hey ho nothing lost I suppose.
Looks like the protector I has applied to my 7 plus last year. I've gone without one this year...
Hmm, possibly, in some lights, but I think it's more a creamy-colour. The aluminium band is more a copper-gold, to my mind.
So I preordered an 8+ last Friday morning and still don't have a shipping date
Yet they are listed in-stock at retailers all round the country.
Has anyone bought an iPhone 8 from a walk-in today (in London)?
I'm wondering whether I might be able to pick one up in-store after work...

Went for a 'hands on' of the iPhone 8 plus in a local John Lewis. After a long play I am not convinced that, other than screen size, it offers anything worthwhile over and above my 6. My 6 is now out of contract and on a £20 pm sim deal, so an extra £40 pm for the 8 plus seems like a big ask for, well, not a great deal.
I then had a play with the new Apple Watch - I have to say that this seems to offer more fun and innovation for the price...

I'm in the same boat, I keep checking the store "just-in-case" but now I'm resigned to getting it Monday at the earliest.
Whoo Hoo! My iPhone 8 arrived. Now restoring from encrypted backup using iTunes.
One of the things I liked most about the 4s was the weight. Once it was changed I felt it was a little bit too light, at first I thought it was going to fly out my hand. So yeah, I like the weight, I'll be sure it's at the bottom of my bag now! LOL
Silly question but how do you do a hard reboot with 8/8 Plus? For the 7 it was a case of pressing the on/off button and volume down for a few seconds but that takes me to a screen with "slide to power off" and SOS on it, then starts making a siren noise!
Press and hold power button and volume down button for about 10 secs till you see Apple logo then let go
Power+vol down.
Mine just arrived
Luckily I got out of work and home about 10 minutes before the driver was due. Currently restoring from backup.Bit narked that we have the mess on the back though, when it seems the rest of the world doesn't.
