Discount quantity is limited according to the email I got from Anker. First come, first served apparently.
I've done the same. Knowing Anker I'm confident that it will be well made and work well.
i tried it on another anker product the 10w version but it said it couldn't be applied to that item which is a shame.
Me too. It was worth a try for the faster charger but no luck.
Yes it's a pity because at that price you could have them dotted about the house.
Just ordered this, along with the fast charging plug for £26.99. Now fingers crossed I can actually get an X!

Spoke to o2. Asked them for my PAC and they asked why. Told them Sky had a better offer and there's was ridiculously priced (iphone 8+ 256gb). They eventually offered the phone on a refresh deal (what I wanted so I have option to upgrade next year). Works out to £52 per month (but grabbed insurance). Will probably lower my monthly cost by chucking a couple of hundred quid at the phone over Xmas. Happy with this. Been a customer for a long old time so it was nice they gave the effort to keep me. Phone arriving tomorrow.
Existing phone (gonna recycle for £220) is an iphone 6s+. Which has been the best iphone I've ever owned.

Nope
Some more details on fast charge over here http://iphone.appleinsider.com/arti...watt-fast-charging-like-ipad-pro-using-usb-pd
If you have an Anker charging hub with fast charge port - assume that will work fine and don't need the fast charge plug as well?
Woo hoo, P4S!
iPhone 8, space grey, 64GB.
Any idea how long they are taking to despatch and deliver from this status?
Still shows 27th Sep - 4th October.

Sorry for a bit of a thread hijacking but wanted some opinions.
Noticed yesterday on my 8 that there is a patch showing (particularly when wiped with a damp cloth) which I think could be a problem with the oleophobic coating (?missing in this spot) as per this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/discolouration-patch-on-rear-glass-iphone-8.2071914/
Apple advised to return under 14 day policy, however they have no stock of this phone (looking at 1-2 weeks) and all nearby apple stores are up of stock (plus the nearest is over an hour away).
So should I just live with it or do what I’m planning and return it next week (at the end of 14 day window) for an exchange and hope they will have sufficient stock to send a replacement straight out?
I’ve put the phone back in a case for now but will probably change my mind again in a few/weeks month (I’m forever going between case and caseless!).

Most definitely get it replaced. You paid a lot of money for that device. They’ll surely have replacement handsets soon. I think you’ll regret not having it replaced for the sake of a couple of weeks.
Certainly wouldn’t live with it!! It’s one of those things, once you know it’s there your eyes get sucked towards that specific bit of screen!!
We’re ages from a store too and it’s a pain on things like this .. I had one faulty one I had to turn and apple arranged that I could have a longer return window so that the new one would be available. I think I agreed to order a new one though as a new order and then had longer allowed to return the original. That would only work if you have the funds for it!
I’d definitely phone them though and ask for a longer return window as faulty. They did it because I just could t g t to a store.
Hope you get it sorted without too much hassle.

I had it when my local Spar was the drop off point .. it was a bit disconcerting but all worked out ok!
That does not sound right, what kind of drop off location was this? I take stuff to my corner shop to return to Amazon and they always give me a receipt.
Right guys, took my first phonecall today on my 8+ and there is a slight crackling on my speaker. It’s like a ticking but constant. Doesn’t happen on loudspeaker.
I’m going to return it but can’t be without a phone, would a return/exchange via EE be the best option or would going direct to Apple be the best option?
I’m annoyed as I’ve paid out for a screen protector for it as well.
