Congratulations... you are officially crowned winner of iPhone X pre orders 2017.
lets get you on the front page of MR now
Thanks everyone,
Quick impressions 3 min left of restore from iCloud
Man this is premium feel, the screen omfg...true tone, wow but the edge to edge, it’s amazing. I have an iPhone original import from the states back in 2007 and this feeling beats that.
1 minute to go
Seriously, I do not feel this will be £1149 wasted.
And the notch is, well the notch. It won’t be a problem at all, a tiny tiny compromise for the display which is just wow
finally some unbiased fanboy reviews.. perfect!
enjoy.. I have 2 more weeks :'(
Awesome, thanks - will give that a go over the weekend.
I ordered this car charger yesterday too - free shipping and 15% off with code pitaka15. Am assuming the metal plate you attach is a ring or similar.

Dang, mine has no movement yet despite ordering on the 27th
When did you order yours?When did you order yours? Mine still has yet to come through.
Face ID = flawless
They do integrated ones for £10.

I need to find a charging matt type for the car.. have a nice spot in the centre console for it to go...
pretty sure I saw someone do it on another forum so will have to look it up.
** edit ** this was the one https://www.fpaceforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=753&p=7308&hilit=wireless#p7308
they got a little usb adapter for the cig lighter socket and ran the wire along the console.. think i'll have to do this
Still Preparing for Dispatch, due delivery is tomorrow.
They better not mess this up!

Unbiased fanboy... there’s an oxymoron if I ever saw one! Not complaining tho
...can somebody clarify this conundrum for me (I'm probably being stupid!! )?!
When I went on my Apple Store App to the IUP, to see if it would be possible to exchange my iPhone 8 Plus to an iPhone X (I am NOT looking to change my iPhone 8 Plus - just wanted to see if it was actually possible!!), it stated that in order to do this, I would have to pay the remaining balance of my current IUP, which is around £453), and then hand back the phone (when at the store), which would then enable to me to reserve an X, for collection (again - I am not looking to change).
Unless I am missing something or have completely misunderstood this, why would I have to pay off the balance AND hand back the phone?? Surely,paying off the balance means the phone is mine to keep, no? Why does it say to pay the balance AND also hand back the phone?!

Yeah it will have a magnet in it. I bought a £3 case and stuck the magnet on that last year as I couldn’t stick it on my iPhone!
For real though, if you live near one, PLEASE go and buy the cheapest thing you can find and pay with ApplePay on your X. Just to see their faces.

You pay off the loan and keep the phone.
Btw we all knew you’d be back in for an X Dino!
Does your receiver support wireless car play? (or are you just doing your hands free and audio integration over bluetooth?)
I've snagged this one for my car:

You need to be cautious about where you get the T513 - some are 7.5w, some are only 5w - same model number.
Choetech has discontinued that model, but it has 18 months of manufacturers warranty!! And it's a 3-coil, so not fussy about your phone placement for it to work (very much needed for the car)
Not at all jealous
I would not be surprised if:
a) this makes front page news on MacRumors
b) CpW will probably get a b*ll*cking from Apple for shipping phones to customers a day early
please Macrumors don't post it on the news page - at least until I call CPW and see if I can pick mine up..
LOL!!! Seriously - I am happy with my 8 Plus and will be sticking with it! I was only asking in case sometime next year, i decide to switch it out!
Dang, mine has no movement yet despite ordering on the 27th
i ordered on the 27th at about 10.30am , just been on to the live chat and the phone was dispatched at 7.09 this morning. give the chat a try and keep checking the my vodafone app, weirdly my app is showing i have 10gb more each month than im paying for!
When did you order yours? Mine still has yet to come through.
