Other UK iPhone (2018) XS/XS Max/XR Pre-Orders and Dispatch Thread

Never had to double tap the screen. Double click the side button is usually what you do.

Probably me misreading it in a rush and trying not to look a complete idiot with a queue of people behind me haha

Will have to remember that!

Thanks.

So i love FaceID apart from when it comes to Apple Pay!

Just tried it at the local shop and its telling me to double tap the screen which i do and it does nothing apart from telling me to double tap the screen!!!!!

Other than that, everything setup smoothly and everything about it is gorgeous

NOT the screen, the lock/wake button. You'll get use to it soon. LOL

 

[Kiimora]

Lol ...just ask Jinjin, Guru of all query!

Now where is my Max ?

On a more serious note; pls do share how you disconnected your old watch from your X, connected your S4 to your Max with your old watch data

On the X Apple Pay was triggered by double tapping the power button and the confirming through face ID. Is that not the same on the XS then?

I'm 10 mins into my UKMail window. Haven't had any live tracking of status all morning though. But least my window is finally here. Working from home, but watching the CCTV also.

Got my phone a couple of hours ago but iTunes wouldn’t let me set it up unless I installed her latest version of OS X, still installing......

Need to give credit to UKMail delivery guy. I had to go out this morning and just hand wrote a letter and taped it to the front door asking if he could just deliver it to the neighbour or hide it in a bin for me.

Came home to see he took it to the neighbour.

What a hero!

Arrived. When they said it would. Now I just have to finish this show, pack up, get a lift home and go play!!!
Hope yours all arrive safely.

Guess it depends on location.

Don’t think I’ll be seeing my phone today

That's how it works on my XS

It is but he thought that you had to double tap the screen and not the button. Confusion. Apple did make a tweak in a software upgrade where it does a little bounce at the side so you double tap the button but can be easily missed/misread

I’m constantly swinging from keep my X - to getting a new X with bigger storage - to getting an XS on the apple upgrade

You let your wife see your gadget transactions!?

Can anyone recommend a thin black silicone case that fits the XS?

I ordered an X case off amazon but afterwards found out they don’t fit the camera bump. Don’t really want to spend £45 on the official Apple one.

I need to give a shout out to these speakers. They’re better than my 8+, the bass sounds fantastic.

 

[alFR]

Aargh am now in delivery window and driver is 7 stops away but getting progressively slower between stops. :weeps:

Just wondering is 64gb storage enough on an iPhone if I plan on taking lots of pictures and using Apple music? Or will I be better off going for the 256gb?

Wouldn't a letter telling them where to hide it defeat the point of it being hidden from thieves?

Possibly but I have CCTV outside my house so I can see everything. I did include that in the letter. Haha

This phone is incredible. I also don't have any of that pink-shift when looking at the phone from an angle, like someone else was experiencing.
