Is this for existing customers on a current phone plan or any? As I’m now an EE customer via my iPad Pro 10.5
Although it was through Carphone warehouse I’m still a EE customer
Not true, there are regional differences with regards to regulatory marking, (USA vs rest of world iirc) and are certainly not country specific, but no differences with regard to language. All iPhones of a specific model are identical software wise.
And New Zealand.
I meant in terms of the packaging (and inserts)........ which may be different language for some countries. This will mean the phones need to be specifically packaged by country.
EE will give you a 10% discount if you're after another line. I think it's only once you're out of contact the offers come in.
Did Face ID work this time?
When I rewatched it I kept shouting “Switch to backup! SWITCH TO BACKUP!!” Just before it lol.

iPhone X doesn't support fast wireless charging, so you will only receive the standard 5W-7.5W charge speed with this charger.
No, this will not work. You need a USB-C fast charger, like this.

Ah, right. I thought it did. So the wireless charger I’ve bought will work fine, it just won’t be fast change? Don’t mind that as I leave on charger overnight.
Think i'm going to love being on EE
just done a speed test on my ipad pro 10.5 cellular and got download speeds of 91MB. Alot more than i get at home

That is very good, sadly i don't get any signal on o2 at the office.
think at home I get about 30MB so alot better when at the office
8 days to go and I'm still flip flopping between the X and the 8.
Sold my iPhone 6 a couple of weeks ago and using an old 5C as a back up phone, other than the phone being a bit sluggish I've actually enjoyed the smaller size handset tbh I've always had a soft spot for the 5C, however the real annoyance is the wired earphones. I don't normally have an issue with wired earphones but for some reason of late they keep getting tugged on things and it's driving me crazy! I had a mid range pair of bluetooth buds that broke on me earlier this year and haven't managed to replace them.
Now I'm feeling a little desperate to forgo the iPhone X and pickup an 8 64gb and some Beats X, and you're probably thinking why don't i just get iPhone X with the beats x but then I'm looking at £1105 instead of a more reasonable £805 and we haven't added a case and or possibly insurance I already feel silly for contemplating spending a grand on a phone, but ive been a launch day iPhone 6 holdout waiting for that day when apple would finally bring us new hardware as ive always upgraded every 'tick' cycle since iPhone 4 and here we are with the X. I really think apple should have bundled the airpods with the X, especially as theyre pushing for this wireless future, stingy gits!

Sorry if this has already been covered in this thread but I’m still a bit confused with the iPhone X preorder on the 27th if I want to join the upgrade program. I understand it has to be completed in store to complete the credit application. So am I preordering to nearest store on 27th or need to wait for the launch on the 3rd when presumably stock (if any) arrives in Apple stores?
Correct you will be pre ordering to collect the phone in store and sign up to IUP. You can do this from the 27th.
The question around stock availability on the 27th still remains though.
On the pre-order does it state shipment times right away or do we have to wait until Nov 3rd to know when it's officially out?
As soon as the store reopens on 27th it shows the delivery estimates against each handset model
Thanks Jinjin. I assume there will be no payments made at point of preorder? And I will be free to pull out until collection.
8 days till pre-orders open! [raised hands emoji]
