Anyone know if Apple are fitting screen protectors?
I have heard they are. Hate putting my own on I always get it wrong.
For the time being I have left the plastic wrapping on it...the back is off because it’s got a case but the front isn’t protected so I’ve left it on and just cut a piece out of the top so the camera etc isn’t hindered.
My first thoughts on this phone is it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. I can’t see any difference in screen, picture or video quality. Keyboard is smaller and so are the words you type. The screen and phone feel and are considerably smaller than my 7+. All in all it’s small so a bit disappointing to me. I love my 7+ size. Can’t believe I’ve downgraded to a smaller phone. It’s not sitting well with me at the mo. 😐

@Iharris85 I’d give it a few hours for it to be delivered to store. It’s probably only just opened. Maybe ring them first?

SG 256GB ordered for click&collect on refresh upgrade, order confirmation at 11.40am on the 27th.
So far nothing but lies so have now officially complained via resolver like others here. I’ve now had two of those ‘sorry you don’t have your phone’ texts, but that’s it.
In desperation to get some proper response from O2, I replied to their tweet about ‘the exciting iPhone X is here’.
They did reply on Twitter to ask me about my order (not as a private message). I gave the info above and the response was that for orders placed at that time it is a 6+ week wait!!
So again only a vague answer and why is their website saying up to 3 weeks then? Isn’t that (illegal) false advertising?
I’m sure it’ll get deleted but here’s the tweet (ordered SG256 at 11.40 27/11):

Game example of just how much screen you really lose. Not good, definitely doesn’t ‘fill the whole screen’ It’s so small. Wish I had waited for the iPhone X plus ☹️
Top...iPhone X
bottom... iPhone 7+

@Naywa01 They’ve just given you the same generic answer as every other annoyed customer. Look on their Facebook post where they’re advertising the IP x. Not many positive stories and each answer is the same. O2 sound all interested like they’ll maybe give you a clear answer but all they reply with is ‘it’s a #week wait, we will email when it’s been dispatched’

Just a heads-up to say that although my click and collect order (iPhone X 64GB Space Grey) has been dispatched and I have a DPD tracking number, I have just phoned the store I am collecting it from and it won't be there until early next week, as they don't get deliveries over the weekend. Just in case anyone else is in the same boat, thought I'd let you know. (I have tried the tracking number, but it doesn't come up on the DPD system - so far?)
