The Lloyds app has been updated for Face ID now after Halifax’s was the other day.
I also thought the Folio case looked great and actually ordered it, but then I started having doubts about the credit card flaps making lines/marks on the screen after a while. (I saw a thread on here where someone had used a folio case with their iPhone and it had left marks on the screen).
I really don’t know why Apple didn’t design that Folio case with a completely flat, microfibre flap in place of those credit card holders - I really doubt anyone is going to stuff credit cards in there as surely they’ll eventually mark the screen?!
Anyhow - I cancelled my order and went with the standard leather case, and a Belkin screen protector.
Think those with that message is likely because EE don’t know when the phone will arrive. Mine says 3rd November delivery

Luckily EE use DPD
Apple ID is linked to your Apple ID and card details registered. You can register devices to use Apple Pay like your phone. All you have done is erase your device settings so it cannot be used for Apple Pay using your credentials. Websites now offer apple pay as a payment method and you can either use your apple smart device with touch ID or just login using your Apple account details to authorise a apple payment. You have already authorised payment so unless there is an issue then it will proceed. Should there be an issue it will be highlighted on your apple account order info, therefore keep an eye on this.
You must have gotten very lucky Bryan. I can't get ANY sense out of the online chat. They just keep saying "rest assured we will get your phone out to you asap"
Driving me up the wall. 53 hours later and it's still "Awaiting Approval"

I thought if touch ID worked, then face ID worked, so it has to be allowed by each app?
Regarding Face ID - all apps that support Touch ID will automatically support Face ID without any work needed from the developer.
When you see developers saying it has been updated for Face ID all they really mean is they have made the app aware that Face ID is a thing. E.g. before it might have said “use Touch ID to log in” on a banking app, and they updated it to say “use Face ID to log in” if the app detects you’re using an iPhone X.
In other words the update is very very minor, usually just wording changes, and that’s why some banks have already pushed out updates.

Is it me, or did they completely forget about adding support for the Plus model screens? Everything in the app looks humongous, including the status bar and pop-up dialogs. Wondering how this will translate to how it'll look on the X.
I think almost all the banking apps are whitelabelled apps that are just rebranded for the appropriate bank (including the woeful custom keyboards). They don’t support the 4.7/5.5” displays so probably no chance we’ll get X support in the next decade
it’ll be letterboxed in its current form
My understanding is that yes, you can. I have never personally used the 14-day return policy for any Apple device.
Think you're right from Apple's developer pages. The only change they must have made is to say "Log in using Touch ID" for iPhone 6 to iPhone 8, and "Log in using Face ID" for the X.
I'm won't say anything about the banking apps that I don't have, but the HSBC, myBarclaycard, and Amex app all supports the Plus-sized screen, which is why I find it so baffling that the user review rating for Lloyds is so good. The Lloyds app is literally the only app on my phone that doesn't support this.I think almost all the banking apps are whitelabelled apps that are just rebranded for the appropriate bank (including the woeful custom keyboards).

Oops, sorry. That's what I get for just responding to notifications and not reading other posts first!Is my post invisible?!
I also heard that banks are able to specifically disable biometric authentication if the device is X, due to concerns. Hopefully this doesn't become the norm.

I tried to pick up an iPhone X on launch day only to be let down by the App on 2 devices and ended up ordering on the website but with a delivery of 4-5 weeks (28th November). I honestly think Apple will improve these dates in the coming weeks.
For all the people thinking of trying to get walk in pick ups - i have phoned 2 stores and been advised not to as its likely there wont be any as most, if not all, will be taken by reservations.
I have ordered with Three for delivery on 10th (they are still taking orders on Silver 64GB for 10th) but I had to buy out my existing contract and pay for the phone up front - came to about 750-800 so 200 cheaper but my tariff is an extra £12 a month.

Yes, I believe that banking app is checking to see if that device is an X, and disabling the biometric feature using that. I doubt that is what Apple wanted them to do so though, with apps supporting TouchID automatically supporting FaceID.
Haha maybe I’m just unlucky! My U.K. banking apps (Lloyd’s / Halifax / TSB) are definitely the same app (with the same bugs) with a fresh coat of paint
Welcome to MacRumors!
The app has been the quickest way to order for previous launches so it was a surprise on Friday that it seemed to be such a lottery. I was lucky, I got in at 8:05, not long before the launch day stock ran out.
TSB have a new app out now which is different from the old one (which was a rebranded Lloyds one) - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/tsb-new-mobile-banking/id1160720878?mt=8Haha maybe I’m just unlucky!
