Yes! I asked them about it yesterday. Apparently they can just scan the barcode at the back of the box and add the AppleCare.
Think you can buy anytime in the first year but the policy would be backdated to the date of handset purchase
Well, could be a blessing - look through this thread, there's a 20% EE online discount code on line rental.
It’s less slippery!!! 
My XS Max arrived and I love it!!! Don’t mind going back to the plus size at all and the gold colour is amazing! It’s different at different angles!!
Anyway, huge excellent point for me is that it’s less slippery than my X! Holding my X in one hand it slips all over the place but the Max is a lot more stable! I may actually be able to go without a case this year which makes me very happy indeed!
I got mine from John Lewis in the end, the apple order is still showing 24-1st delivery but preparing for dispatch so jumped to JL. I phoned Apple and have been assured that if I just refuse the phone when they deliver it’ll go straight back to them.
Very much enjoying my new toys (grumpy that the new watch faces won’t take complications I want though!!)

Looks like damage from the production line - if you don't like it, you'll have to swap it for another one.
Shouldn't impact use.
Personally I wouldn't be happy with that, especially on such an expensive phone. I'd go and get it swapped straight away, they'll have no problems doing that for you. It would drive me mad knowing that's always there

Remember, that back glass replacement is over £500!It’s less slippery!!!

Different effect - I’m talking about the default bubble/ planet wallpaper on the XS. Try force pressing on it and you’ll see.
I've just looked at my Apple receipt again and it does show a section for "Barclays Loan Payoff" so I'm assuming I'll get confirmation at some point from Barclays within the next few days. I think I'm just anxious due to the original upgrade problem!
Sorry to be off topic but is anyone else having probables with the hsbc uk banking app? Just loads then disappears off the screen. Can’t seem to ever open it even after deleting and re installing it
This has been mentioned by somebody else, also affecting First Direct banking app which is part of HSBC group. Assume some kind of app update is required.
Yes, unfortunately there is a problem with the app and the latest iPhones. HSBC are aware of it. Works fine on 8+ and X, both on iOS 12, but not on XS.

“We are proud to be recognised for our global transformation of IT and tools that make banking simpler and faster. HSBC has won three #CIO100 Awards in the US and India, which celebrate technology and business innovation..”
I have a question about Apple Pay.
I have polish card and it goes to accept the term and condition durning setting up the card, but than it says that card couldn't be added. Is that because the card is polish and the phone and iCloud are british?
I wanted to add my scottish bank too but TSB is 100 years behind and it just refuses it.

What are the banks in Scotland that may accept it?
My TSB card doesn't even have contact-less function

Full day in with my Xs max... can’t keep it out my hands, so happy with it!! Keep finding reasons to look at my phone just to get some time in with this amazing screen!

I recently paid off my balance on the Upgrade Programme before launch day. Took best part of a week to receive a confirmation letter in the post as verification, other than the chap on the phone saying so.
Aside from the annoyance of not being able to place apps exactly where I want (come on Apple, it’s 2018), loving the XS Max. Coming from a Pixel 2, it’s a completely different experience. Settled on the taupe leather case with the gold. Although might keep the black leather as well to change now and then.
Screen and size of it is fantastic and while I find myself looking at the notch now & then, it’s not bothering me. Speakers are great and the device as a whole feels very fluid. Android has a long way to go to match gestures. I just hike the battery is as good as the Pixel because that was a major plus point for it.
So this will more than satisfy me until I feel like a change of device. It’s definitely great switching between Android phones and iPhone, it keeps things fresh.
