If it's the same as other phones I had the thinner the case the better when it comes to charging, having one of those mammoth sized industrial cases would definitely not work.
Thanks for pointing up that model, looks good & not too expensive.

I know.
I was just pointing it it that it's a **** policy and it shouldn't even exist.
I do agree if you buy it outright it should be unlocked.
Remember Apple care does not cover you for theft or loss as your insurance would.
I’m ordering the X, ideally through the Upgrade Program, but had a try now with the 8 to see how it worked, but couldn’t actually do it...
Is this happening to anyone else?
Ah good point that's a must as well, probably will end up paying for both then I reckon.
Really? I didn't know that. When I got my iPhone 5 replaced at the Apple Store he told me the replacement would also lock to the first sim.
check out the apple site.. it states you can leave it on (the leather case) and wirelessly charge
These Apple-designed cases fit snugly over the curves of your iPhone without adding bulk. They’re made from specially tanned and finished French leather, so the outside feels soft to the touch and develops a natural patina over time. The machined aluminium buttons match the finish of your leather case, while a microfibre lining inside helps protect your iPhone. And you can keep it on all the time, even when you’re charging wirelessly.
There's lots of confusion on here.....
The way I read things, is thus:
- Pre-Orders (non IUp or IP) are made on the website/app. These are NOT collectible in store - they are shipped to your address. You are charged once the phone is shipped.
- Pre-Order (IUP and IP) are made on the website/app. These ARE collectible in store - they are are NOT shipped and you are NOT charged beforehand for the phone. When you go to collect, you THEN decide if you want IUP or IP and pay accordingly (£69 up front + monthly cost every month.

..outright iPhones from Apple are unlocked.

...I was getting a similar error trying to do something else in the app this morning - try force closing and re-opening it again.
Definitely. This is a quote from an article in Tech Crunch:
"Like the iPad Pro before it, the new iPhones actually support faster charging rates than their provided charging dongles can provide; using Apple’s 29-watt USB-C charger (the one which ships with the MacBook) and a USB-C to Lighting cable will help you top up your device much faster. You can also use a 61 or 87-watt charger, if you happen to have one of those from the purchase of a new 13 or 15-inch MacBook Pro."

check you bank doesn't give you extras with your current account?
i pay £19 a month with natwest but that gives me mobile, world wide travel insurance and breakdown cover.
They are pretty decent I think. I have SIM only with iD which uses the 3 network and I seem to get reasonable coverage.
Ok the site is mobile phones direct which I've also never used to I'm sceptical.
I'm an existing customer. I tried to do a dummy iPhone 8 pick up but it just kept saying if you didn't collect by the specified time they'd release it. Might go a bit further and see what happens.
