Yes in addition to the GPS issues.. I reckon it is those Intel modems.

I have returned my XS and decided against any other 2018 iPhone this time round.. I don't want to faff around with Apple QC especially if I am forking out £999!

We’ve had intel modems here in the UK since the 7. It’s not a modem issue.

Got my XS last night, managed to just walk in and pick one up!

Does anyone have recommendations for a black or clear case available in the UK? I looked on Amazon but I can only find X cases which say they supposedly fit the XS...

This one for just 8 bucks https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ringke-Com...4d82743286bf49538363b3853e2d1d&language=en_GB ? I’ve personally gone again for the onyx (which I also bought last year for my x) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ringke-Com...ec9020bab606957f400f24c870d0d0&language=en_GB

I think it will get fixed with a software update in a few weeks anyway.

My bad ladies and gents if that's the fact with the intel modems.

However, there is still something off with these XS handsets.

This is the first iPhone I have had with so many issues out of the gate.. I wasn't even my usual OCD with it either.

I'm sure a software apple is coming to try and fix the issue. Doesn't seem big enough at the moment for apple to comment on.

I booked my iup a while back and have been told that they'll let me know when I can make a reservation by October 2nd (Tuesday). Meanwhile I check the stock in my chosen store (Regent Street) and my variant is in stock (Max 256gb). I'm going to just walk in tomorrow and see what I can do.

Just have to say the camera on this thing is incredible. The camera upgrade alone was worth it.

How annoying!

I got a message at nearly 3pm to say my belkin charger is out for delivery. I’m not convinced it’s coming today.

After declaring myself well and truly out of this upgrade cycle (and this thread) I’m now finding it harder to resist. I find myself lurking in ‘Phone’ threads in between watching videos illustrating the camera improvements.

This thread alone is why I upgraded but it was so damn worth it. I’m in love with my XS Max

Go on.... yield to temptation...
[doublepost=1538240524][/doublepost]Regarding an earlier post about Belkin chargers, John Lewis has the Boost Up 10W with £15 off.

Comes in black and white and is smaller than the version they had last year, which I also have. It has a rubbery surface which prevents iPhone slipping around.

I’m addicted to this thread! Last year’s version of it ‘made me’ buy the X (after I’d already got an 8+). Loving the XS, can’t put it down.

Haha imagine how many sales are generated through threads like this were we all talk each other into buying a new phone
