Completely forgot to ask: Does anyone know if my case for the iPhone X will fit the Xs?
The physical size of the Xs is the same as the X. Where it differs is that there are fewer mic/speaker holes at the bottom edge on the Xs. If you have a case with a big cutout at the bottom it should be fine. Even if you have a case with precise cutouts at the bottom it should still fit but a couple of cutouts will just not be necessary. Spigen is advertising its thin-fit case (one of the best IMO) as X/Xs

Also decided to go with the XS 64Gb in silver. Went into a local phone store and played around with the X and realised it really is a great bit of kit, perfect size for me. (Always found my previous plus models a bit cumbersome). Also love the stainless steel band which will match my apple watch. First time ive ever gone for a non black colour as well!

Collecting friday on IPP, think i ordered 2 by accident actually... Never mind!

C'mon guys --- who's tracking the flights? ;-)
You need to wait until the phones are despatched, and then work out the courier from the tracking numbers, which leads you to the tracking information, the location, and then you can work out the flight...

Finance on a phone and a watch? I'd strongly recommend against it!

Why? I’m on the iup at the moment paying 56 a month for the X. Max will be 51 and then watch will be 23 when I trade in my current watch...essentially 18 more than I’m paying a month at the moment for a max and series 4 watch.

I'm not an advocate of any sort of borrowing tbh. But I'll leave it there as to not derail the thread.

Had to call Apple and my bank as they had queried my payment. I never use that particular debit card for online payments so they thought it odd. Anyway all sorted and made no impact to my delivery schedule. Its still preparing for shipment. They must be real slow in that warehouse! ;)

Damn, that’s a good deal! :cool:

I pay £16.99 for a sim only deal with EE and get 10GB data (which is actually enough!), unlimited texts and calls.

I'm looking for a better deal but need "unlimited" calls, txt and data. I currently pay £26 on Three for this, with the usual "you can use your data in most countries except Asia.

Was thinking of getting the Watch 4 through them, as it's £50 off.

Decided against it, as when you open an account, they run a credit check, set you up with a credit limit on the account, which once you've paid the watch off, I then have to close the account (which will show on credit reports).

A lot of hassle for £50.

Still waiting for the Spigen glass screen protector for the Xs Max.

Or is there other brands on Amazon or EBay which are any good and are available?

The Belkin one on the Apple site is massively overpriced!

No case for me. Have loved using my X naked. Just a nice clear screen protector for me on the front and back, no glass though as it adds bulk.

I've ordered an Olixar one as I had a good experience with their 7 Plus version a few years ago. Not as cheap as the Spigen ones where you get 2x in the pack, but I'm happy to give £15 a try.
