Seems to have gone quiet in here recently - hopefully that means that we are all receiving our new iPhones?

Is anyone still waiting for theirs?

well... you say that ...

so probably!

But has anyone witnessed their X creping off the Qi Charger from Belkin?  if I lay mine flat on it's back - the coil charge is creating such miniscule vibrations that it slides slowly off the charger!!!

I have had to lay it face down (so now I can't just tap to see the battery level) - anyone else had this issue!?

@Anonymous I have 2 of the Belkin chargers and haven’t seen any sliding. Really pleased with them and loving wireless charging at last with the iPhone X. Have you tried it on a different surface? Other than that could yours be faulty?

[alistair]

Another Belkin charging pad owner here - and have never had the "vibration" problem. Mine seems to work fine -  I don't notice any vibration.

I have the same issue; I have purchased Apple watch series 3 from Currys unlocked to all networks. I have contacted O2 to get it activated .....to be told that O2 us not offering connection as yet. I am aware that watch will work fine withinnthe phone range but this is not the point, Otherwise i would of purchased cheeper watch option. We need O2 to offer this option because there is a reason why this type of watch i purchased and without doubt the rest of the customers do too.

Does anyone know when O2 will offer an Apple watch contract?  I have been with O2 for a long time and would prefer to stay with them rather than move to EE.

[Cleoriff]

@Anonymous  so far there is no news of this happening. EE is the only network that offers contracts for the new Apple Watch

See a similar thread here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly/Apple-Watch-3/m-p/1093126/highlight/true#M141242

A recent article explaining why O2 isn't offering it yet https://www.macworld.co.uk/news/apple/when-will-apple-watch-3-lte-come-o2-3664181/

The only person who can give us up to date info is @Chris_K
