Could @Chris_K or someone answer and clarify this as it will heavily influence whether I get the 8plus or wait it out for the X preorders 😕 

Hey @Dancamz unfortunately student discount isn’t available on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus yet, but we’re constantly reviewing this on an ongoing basis and will let everyone know here in this thread if or when that changes. Regarding the iPhone X specifically, our tariffs and details are still under wraps and being worked on but hopefully we can confirm closer to pre-order day. I realise this doesn’t help you with making a decision which I apologise for, but some details are still being worked on.

Why is it not on the 8/8+ since it is a tariff not a phone discount?

 

Also on the terms and conditions it states:

 

  1. To be eligible for the Airtime Discount you must purchase or have purchased an eligible handset and/or tablet or dongle (each a "Device") on O2 Refresh. Eligible handsets shall be determined by O2 in its sole discretion and excludes any device which O2 notifies is excluded on www.o2.co.uk/studentoffer

On the student offer page in the link^ it does not say any device is excluded from the offer so should this not mean it is available on the 8/8+/X? T&C's say it is only excluded from devices listed on the offer page and the offer page says nothing about any devices being excluded.

Not applicable

I much prefer O2 to EE but I too will be leaving when my contract runs out. Such a shame. A prospective date (even not for next year/two years) might mean I would stay but leaving us without clear information is just not good enough.

I agree what is point keeping it under wraps, for some people finance is important between iPhone 8 / 8 plus or X
