Thanks yeah I agree with you. My local Apple store is nearly 30 miles away unfortunately there and back and I am just out of hospital with a bad infection and recovering so can't get there at the moment. The EE store is only a few miles away but I will end up having to book a genius bar appointment if I don't get anywhere today.
Got a tip for us?

Something definitely isn’t right with your phone.
Best advice I can give is try a a complete restore on iTunes where it loads a fresh os if it doesn’t improve give apple support a call or download the apple support app.
Thanks.
It’s been fine on my 8+, i was just concerned about having an equivalent sized gap around the edge of it on an XSM.
I suspect that there is something in what you say, but will Apple acknowledge another Antenna Gate?
By the way, are you holding it right?

lol haahah They might come out with a free bumper or say 90% people don't make any calls they only use data this is a non issue at the moment.I suspect that there is something in what you say, but will Apple acknowledge another Antenna Gate.

I'm seeing the same signal bars (2 to 3 bars on 4G) when compared to my old 8 Plus so personally, I'm not getting any signal issues.....
That's pretty much what I get (see bold figures above) on EE, on 4G sitting inside an office (EC4N area). Seems normal.
Surely me having the receipt /my bank card ,and dealing with the same person who sold me the phone the day before would be enough !!
Whatever they quote, you get another 10% on top with the "Tech10" voucher code upon checkout.
2 weeks from the date of confirming the order. Make sure they receive your goods on a weekday, as they don't properly process on a Saturday and will delay until Monday.
Good point, because I’m sure they didn’t have many people buying iPhones on the launch day of the new iPhones right?
There are laws in place to protect consumers and employees, it’s not reasonable to expect someone who probably saw thousands of customers 24 hours earlier to vouch for you when you’re borrowing over a £1000.
The onus was on you to check what was needed, not anyone else and saying that ”no one told me I’d need a photo I.D” just screams immaturity and an inability to take responsibility for your own actions (a widespread problem today unfortunately).
Had a disaster of a day trying to buy an XS in the Reading Store.
Firstly yesterday their network was down so were unable to sell anything to the public.
So I bought an XS at 6am this morning online for collection at 10am.
All was going well until it came to trade in my S9 Plus phone ... Despite Apple's own website accepting the IMEI number and serial number , their own systems in store are out of sync and more importantly way out of date. Basically the in store system said my phone didn't exist but their own website did find by the IMEI.
So they refused to give a trade in value for it despite their own website listing a £385 trade in. He said the website offer is technically a separate company but they are supppsed to be aligned to the in-store trade ins. I hate eBay and other post your phone sites having been scammed previously.
Spoke to the manager who agreed it was insane but all they could do was ask for my phone's IMEI to be added to the in store database which might take days to a week and a half. Yep... I had to leave empty handed or pay full price for the phone. They simply wouldn't accept the trade in despite Apple's own website offering £385 !!
In the meantime , the phone I bought but was unable to collect is sat at the store (up to 21 days) whilst the mess get a sorted out or I can just cancel the order.
My plan at this point is to phone on Saturday and ask if it's in the database yet. If it is , ok but if not will probably just cancel as I'm not convinced it will get added.
Manager said I'm not then first this has happened to either. Basically they don't honour the trade in you see on the website...
Now I'm reading that the XS and Max might have antenna problems and weak signal issues....

You can simply trade it in at Carphone Warehouse (or a carrier store like Vodafone or O2). I traded in my iPhone X and got paid the next day.
Was just thinking about my order was not sure how many days i had left so checked and have got £10 more than last weeks for my iphone x 256gb now getting £660.11 offer plus it gives me two weeks so no rush to decide if keep iphone xs max well happy
I was about to suggest this.
I did it a couple of years ago, I played Game and CPW off against each other to get a better price.
Hand phone in, put debit card in reader, receive funds next day.
Whilst I would never buy a phone or contract from CPW, this was a quick and painless exercise.
Mine was 24/9-1/10 delivery.
