Doubt it unless they restrict availability now they have split the customer base.

Availability will be restricted if reports of them only being able to produce around 10,000 units a day are true - at their peak a new device is usually selling in the 6 figures per day worldwide. Hopefully it's successor won't suffer the same issues.
To reduce the chance of leaks, I would think.

Lol. That worked well for them.

Hey all, just had my 8+ delivered and need to get a case and screen protectors. What would you guys recommend? Are IP7+ cases the same size? Will they fit the 8+
What have you guys gone for in terms of cases and protection?

7 cases will fit for the most part.
I've ordered a Rhinoshield bumper from the states

Iphone 7 case will fit and 8. I have a cosmos blue leather case from apple on my 8 plus and it is lovely. Not to slippy like the silicone one.Not put a scene protector on mine.

iphone 7 case's do fit, i popped into our local vodaphone and got a 20 quid one then remembered about wireless charging, luckily though it works through the case
manufacture is survivor, clear with clear bumpers doesn't bloat the phone out much either

Static crackling noise on some phone calls. Seems common problem.
Not had any issues with mine so far.
Phone was at 100% battery at exactly 4pm, almost 2 hours later and it’s only at 97%.

Battery is usually always very good when new, can't remember an iPhone I've had with poor battery life when brand spanking.

They don't and they never have. In the case of the X, there's component shortages limiting how many they can build. Thousands per day for the X and millions per day for the 8 and 8 Plus.
Here we are 35 minutes later and it’s still on 97%.
I’ve just watched a 12 minute YouTube video too.
I’m happy with my 8 Plus. Battery has been great today, love true tone, the speed increase is nice, camera is a nice step up, I like the glass back, wireless charging is a nice bonus, speakers are definitely louder and clearer. Can’t really fault it.
Apart from the fancy screen I can’t see what I’m gaining if I went to an X. It will have less battery life, Face ID looks less convenient and the keyboard is the same size as an 8, I prefer the larger keyboard of the plus.

Have I read somewhere that you can't fully switch off Bluetooth and Wi-fi any more.

Why waste your money on a fast charger from Apple, when there are about a zillion others that will do the same job for 1/10 of the price, go find a nice Anker, they make quality products.

£10!!!!
I bought a £17 Anker wireless charger yesterday and it’s ****, took an hour to charge 5%.
Supposed to wirelessly charge the iPhone 8/8+ and iPhone 10.
Also if it’s amazon, just link it.

Wireless is limited to maximum of 5w.
EDIT: Also, wtf happened to the sizes? I made it bold, not HUGE!
2nd EDIT: Youu'll probably be wanting the USB-PD 29w+ chargers that use Type-C to get the most from the phone quick charging ability.
