Has anyone else with iPhone 8+ had problems with WiFi dropping (not working at all) even though connected
 
Having spent a few days with the 8 Plus I’ve decided to return it. I don’t know... it’s missing a certain X-factor ;) Might keep hold of my 7 Plus or might jump onboard the hype train for the X after being very dismissive initially. Maybe see you back here in 4 weeks

I’m sure you’ll be back ;) you did say you was originally going to sit out..

I have photos of the front and back but not the side view which is what they have sent through showing the bend.

£15 doesn’t seem a lot. I did send the phone on the option for up to £500 insurance so hopefully that’ll help.

Thank you for the heads up!
I’m sending them my 6 tomorrow, and had taken some pictures, but none of the side view, which I have now done.

Is it possible it was bent before you sent and you didn't realise or is the bend you see in their pictures quite obvious?
 
Made the fatal mistake of popping in to have a look at the 8 in the Trafford centre today. Didn't think they'd have any in stock but they did.

Looking online I was set on the silver and thought the gold back looked like it hadn't been cleaned. In fact the silver back is an off white colour I didn't like at all and loved the cream of the gold. So left with a 64gb gold. Really happy. Phone is absolutely gorgeous. First time I've ever upgraded before the jailbreak was out.

Case and screen protector on the way from Amazon. Just not sure which wireless charger to order.

I wondered that too because I have had no problem with Envirofone until I sent in my son’s iPhone 6 last year and they reduced their offer from about £240 to £58 on the basis that they said it had a “cracked front cover and discolouration of the screen”. I knew that the phone was not in great condition but hadn’t noticed what they reported.

I asked them to send it back and I took it into the Apple store where they told me that it was actually bent too. Basically it was a write off.

I have traded in 3 other iPhone using Envirofone and never had a price reduction on any of those.

I had this problem when using FaceTime audio on speaker. The other persons voice disappeared for a few seconds then came back. I thought it was a speaker fault but it could possibly have been wifi dropping out. Anyway after speaking to Apple I returned the phone and repurchased.
 
Finding the wait excruciating. It’s hard to resist just getting an 8 Plus having sacrificed my 7 Plus weeks ago. Using iOS 11 on my old iPhone 6 is a surprisingly painful experience, with apps taking about 10 seconds to load in some cases.
 
Were you on the public beta? The public beta people are still on 11.0, devs can get 11.1 and joe public can get 11.0.1

I’d expect a public beta for 11.1 soon.


...iOS 11.0.1 doesn't actually seem any better than iOS 11?? What did they fix exactly?! I'm still getting apps that are jerky and not smooth and even going back to the Home screen, is not a smooth and fluid experience?! I'm actually holding off updating my iPad Air 2 to iOS 11 as iOS 10.3.3 is so nice and silky smooth!!!
 
Spigen case ordered for iphone x

No going back now lol

£9.99. Will arrive tomorrow least will get me used to how the size will be.
 
Hopefully you'll have a phone to put into it come 03/11 :D
Yeah lets hope so. I’m more hoping than i was before the amount that is projected to be available on pre order day.

Coming from the 7 plus will be interesting comparing the sizes. Either through apple upgrade program or EE. I think i’m More likely to get one through apple easier than EE i imagine.
