They actually just released 11.2 for iPhone X :)

That said - as I said earlier, if you're currently on the last 11.1 beta, that's the same as the public 11.1 release, so you'll be fine! It'll just work if you try and restore an iCloud backup. It'll update your phone for you before restoring.
I done it now aye aye aye lol

Going naked and without AppleCare+.

I’ve dropped my phones from significant heights maybe four, five times since getting an iPhone 4 and never caused damage. I might be lucky, sure, and my luck probably will run out someday, but I’m cool to gamble on the chance I’ll still end up spending less if I go without AC (and much prefer caseless/SP-less phones anyway). besides, I’ve seen phones in cases and with all kinds of screen protectors smashed up, so it’s hardly a guarantee.

Usually I’d get AC as a safety net but honestly, the cost of a one off repair is just something I’ll have to suck up in the long run should I need one. It’ll still work out cheaper than X amount of AppleCare purchases over X amount of years in the long run.

I hate putting my phones in cases, and I have never ever used a screen protector (and have no desire to. The screen is always the most immaculate part of the phone after a few years).

Also, I don’t treat my phone like fine china. This is with general use. A few scratches on the back here and there don’t bother me.

If you’re prone to dropping your phone, grab a case.

If not... well, you could try going without a case. Figure out if you could afford the worst case scenario and go from there, basically.
Hopefully I don't jinx myself, but im with you in terms of not needing to buy Apple Care. With every iPhone ive owned; 4,5,6 and from tomorrow X i will not have bought Apple Care and thankfully never needed to.

However i did contemplate it with the X because of how expensive it is but on second thoughts Apple Care+ seems like a rip off these days, higher up front cost plus paying an excess fee for repairs!

This was one of the reasons why I desperately wanted to secure a X with John Lewis and cancel my preorder with Apple because they offered a better guarantee and after care, but im still going to settle with JL standard 2 year guarantee and keep my fingers crossed:D

I’m with roger on this except the screen protector. My OCD can’t tolerate any scratches to the screen.

Same Here, I always had like silicone case only and screen protectors and I am quite clumsy I think, and the only thing I ever had to fix was replacing battery in my iPhone 6 and I did it only because I wanted to wait till X. Cost me less than £40 lol.

Could some kind soul please check something on their X please...please run your finger over the sim card tray, is it a bit 'rough?'
It feels as if the cut out hole for the sim card has not been deburred of it is rough edges if that makes sense?

Mine feels fine, might be worth comparing in store and getting it changed.

Anyone else order from John Lewis today for collection tomorrow and its still on processing order?
 
I haven’t seen this commented on yet on here but what’s the X’s music playback like especially on headphones? For me the music is still a major factor with the iPhone so very interested to hear about this.

What in particular are you keen to know about ?
 
Reminder for those who live in an apartment, flat, etc and you did not include your building or room number.

A DPD guy told me he will leave a card for you to collect the phone later. Otherwise, keep checking the app and be seen on time.
