it makes me feel a little better about the screen size vs my plus, and the Face ID working as a good replacement for touch, which were my main 2 concerns.
Got a tip for us?

Does anyone know the latest on the CPW situation?
I've ordered one from there (on pre order day @ 11:50) which was slated for 3rd delivery. Since ordering, I've seen the delivery dates on the CPW site slip to 10th and then slip further to unavailable. I've checked today and they're saying 3rd again.
I've received 2 emails off them and know that my CC payment has cleared fraud checks... however from reading experiences here, confidence level is low.

Don't think so but we could do with a form of some sort or at least for people to make it public if that does happen for them!
I think with any non-Apple company you just have to wait and see what happens - which isn't brilliant, but they don't seem great at communications (ironically) and you'll often get told any old nonsense by their frontline chat/support people. If your phone was down for the 3rd then you should get it this week, but you might waste a lot of time and energy trying to get it confirmed 100%.
You'd hope they wouldn't take orders without confirmed stock - I think the only company I've seen do that before were Very, although O2 had a bit of a screw-up with the iPhone 7 where they clearly took too many orders or Apple gave them less stock on launch day.
Latest video review, let's hope he doesn't get fired like that apple employees who's daughter posted the video the other day!

What do people who have experience with o2 think about this?
My click and collect upgrade is on up to 3 weeks, if my local store has walk-in stock on Friday, surely they can just give me one there to fulfil my order?

Whichever brand you get - make sure it has 3 coils, so it isn't fussy about where your phone is on the pad.
Agreed! I’m prepared for hell of getting rid of my muscle memory to click a home button and the weirdness of my face being a password. I’m so glad he said its well built through, it looks extramly premium and worth 999, gotta say this week it feels more worth it after my constant do i or don’t i
Pretty much agree with this.
I ordered 07.55 and have been told 3rd and 10th. The true reality is something that they will not admit. They take orders and money indicating real ease day or soon after delivery dates. When the reality is they will in all probability have no idea of the amount of stock they are getting and therefore only a small number of customers will get theirs this week.
I’ve given up asking them now as been told twice over the phone and twice on twitter mine is the 3rd, only to also be told on twitter that it will be the 10th. Pinch of salt required until Thursday probably when you get either a dispatch confirmation, or more likely a delay notification.
Just type Qi wireless charger on amazon or somthing and check reviews, samsung used Qi for a while so you can probable find a reasonably priced one that’s got glowing reviews, so glad apple went with Qi for this reason. Personally, as i just paid £999 for an iPhone I didn’t want to go spending £50/60 on a belikin or somthing so managed to get a 4 Star one with over 1k reviews for £15
pls take the ££££s already , trying my hardest not to hit the West End
This is the one I've picked up (one for my bedside table, another one for my car):

They did it at 2pm on Christmas Eve for my Tesco food delivery last year. That went down particularly badly.

Looking forward to this week!
It's a massive gadget week for me and these arrivals:
1. iPhone X
2. Amazon Echo (2nd Gen release)
3. Google Home Mini
4. Belkin Wireless Charger Pad
Xbox One X next Tuesday to finish it off too !
Why, at 2:58 in the video when he's trying to swipe up to unlock the screen, does it take him THREE attempts to unlock the screen - is he doing it wrong?

enjoy your iPhone 8 plus but you don't need to justify your purchase by bashing the x. It's rather obvious giving your recent comments in this thread...sorry but the iPhone X is hideous. And with all that swiping action - it's terrible. Point in case - at 2:58 in the video when he's trying to swipe up to unlock the screen, it takes him THREE attempts to unlock the damn thing.....
SO glad I went with an iPhone 8 Plus.
They segregate their stock and systems. I've been into the store at 08.02 in previous years and been their first in store pre-order.
When I've turned up a week later to get my shiny new phone they told me they didn't receive the allocation they were expecting as phone and web orders were prioritised. Last year it took another 4 weeks.
I'll never trust an O2 in store pre-order again, so wouldn't trust being able to walk in on launch day either.
Just a quick question. I ordered my phone on Friday with pickup on the 3rd fortunately , I’m 15 and i was going to go into town to pick it up. Do any of you know if I need a parent with me or would it be okay just to bring my passport?
Thanks

Thats what I would say if I had bought an iPhone 8 Plus
[doublepost=1509367061][/doublepost]Also, when he swipes up he’s not doing it from the bottom of the phone, that’s why it’s not working

The iPhone 8 was beautiful in 2014.
...yea, apologies - a little harsh I guess so have edited my post.
lol I am sure not long ago I read comments from you saying you were in two minds. Now you have the IP8 you regret it and deeply want the X, but to justify you making the mistake of buying the X you are trying to persuade yourself you made the correct decision. Its ok, we all understand. And when everyone posts pics of their phones on Friday, you will be greener than the hulk after running through a cabbage field.
he explained it himself in his video, this is a shift to our muscle memories. he's probably pressing down and swiping then realised he has to swipe up. the press down triggers 3d touch so its likely it halts the functioning of the home bar. its not an error at apple its just going to be us for few weeks getting used to it.
** ps even if it is, the beauty of a software home key is that a simple patch can fix it in like 2 minutes, if this was hardware we would all be ****ed
