Ugh! I'd forgotten how bad iOS is. Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S9 I quickly realised I could not do things I was accustomed to on Android. The widgets are terrible as are the notifications. Sorry to rain on anyone's parade, but the phone is now back in the box and I'll return it to the Apple Store tomorrow. There is no way I could justify £999 for that!
Got a tip for us?

I personally would say 256GB if you can budget for it, I was happy with 64GB for 6 months and then just started to regret it
This is a "PEBCAK" issue, or in this case "PEBCAP".
You're used to Android. You know how to do things there. You like the way it works there, and how it looks. You don't want to change your habits.
That's fine - but this doesn't mean iOS is bad, it just means it's not for you though choice.
There's nowt wrong with that, I'm the same in the other direction. I will admit that Android's good though - it's just not for me and that is a choice I make for many reasons.

Nah, I don't think it's likely to go missing. They're tracked within an inch of their lives (iPhones and the courier).
This will simply be down to the number of drops they've got left of the day. Had too many to deliver, for whatever reason (traffic, slow customers, whatever) are behind where they want to be, and it's Friday... If a few "people are out", it speeds up the end of the day. Don't try and deliver to everyone and that gets them into trouble.
It sucks, and I'm not defending it... But it's not great pay, and it's not a great job I can imagine... Overworked, underpaid and especially on days like today.
For peace of mind I think this is what I will end up doing. I have 64gb in the S8 at the moment with a 64gb SD card so at least if I have 256gb I won't have to worry to much about storage
DPD were on point today as per, received at midday as per the text notification I got first thing.
Restored my new XS max via iTunes easily enough but its taking hours (literally) to download all my apps
My work wifi is pretty poor (10mbps on average) but not poor enough to justify (for example) instagram taking over an hour to download. Am I doing something wrong?
Very happy with everything else thus far, the focus pull on portrait mode is nuts. So good.

This is my iPhone 2018 delivery saga -
On Thursday I received a notification that DPD would deliver to a local Halfords due to an app setting from a long time ago. I phoned and found out that the option was not reversible and the delivery could only be made to the shop.
Today the DPD app has reported that the package was at the depot awaiting delivery all day. At 16:30 I phoned DPD and whilst in the queue, the DPD delivery driver knocks on the door with my iPhone because the depot manager asked him to drop it off on his way home. Full marks to the delivery guy he was really cool.

Thats about right for 3UK,
terrible speeds, may show 4G but no where near speed wise
HSBC have confirmed that it doesn’t work on new phones. Possibly an update this weekend but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
Search back through this thread and you will see a lot of people saying that they are getting the speeds you are seeing on three, some are seeing OK speeds but I would say that the majority of posts were very negative.
Yes but why so slow the last time.
I been with three uk was In 2010 they were much faster this is not funny I'm paying £59 pounds for sub 2mb download speed around London is anyone having the same problem with the 3 uk network please comment.
Picked up my silver 256gb max this afternoon from Leeds Apple store, painless process joining IUP and done in 15mins or so.
Loving the phone and the screen size increased is welcomed although only slight regret is possibly not getting the gold version.

Haha do people not learn cheap means useless I learnt this over the last few years 3uk is cheap slow speed crap customer service crap network cheap brand and lastly full of network leeches like Omarmohammed.
EE is more premium brand better network better speed better customer service and finally better website.
I finally found the time to set it up, it was so easy! You don't need the iOS 12 on the old iPhone iOS 11 is good too!
I absolutely love the screen and the smaller size. The phone is much lighter and the gold color is a beauty! Even my mom said that!
FaceID is seamless, no home button - who cares!? I love the phone!

Nightmare...... My Watch S4 mic isn't working on phone call. I can here them, they cantt here me. On phone with Apple Care now. Anyone else having issues.
I didn't expect to be this bad been reading the forum over last two week regarding to 3uk people getting slow speeds/signal issue decided to take my chances this Tuesday what bad mistake no wonder why they are giving away all u can eat data for £59.
Because the network is this slow another speedtest showing a bit better now 2.69mb.
Guessing I will phone 3 up now and try to cancel this is pathetic.
I assume you had the phone delivered to you?
if so, you'll have 14 days to cancel. I'd make a decision quickly and act on it.
Act within the cooling-off period. If you entered into the contract over the phone, online or on your doorstep, you have 14 calendar days to cancel the contractunder the Consumer Contracts Regulations. The cooling-off period starts the day after you agree to go ahead with the service.
