Not just the lead, it uses a different power supply too.
There have been some going from 10k to 60k.

£75 on top of the already over priced handset is an absolute joke.
Apple are clever, they know the idiots in their masses will fork out ££££'s for old tech.
I predict their bubble will burst soon. I think they do too, hence the overly inflated handset cost so that they can cash in while they still can

Up to 14 days for me.

What time did you order it if you don't mind me asking?
Within the first half hour I'd say.
Then in the afternoon they emailed with a serial number to quote on the phone to discuss my order, and that's when the bloke confirmed <14days.

Lad at work ordered in the first 10 mins, however it turns out they messed his order up and he now has 2 reference numbers one for Friday and another for a 21 day delivery both of which are currently pending.
Glad I bought through apple rather than going through the rigmarole of phone providers.

Not quite; taken from The Verge review...
The good news is that Face ID mostly works great. The bad news is that sometimes it doesn’t, and you will definitely have to adjust the way you think about using your phone to get it to a place where it mostly works great.
You also can’t be too casual about it: I had a lot of problems pulling the iPhone X out of my pocket and having it fail to unlock until Apple clarified that Face ID works best at a distance of 25 to 50 centimeters away from your face, or about 10 to 20 inches. That’s closer than I usually hold my phone when I pull it out of my pocket to check something, which means I had to actively think about holding the iPhone X closer to my face than every other phone I’ve ever used. “You’re holding it wrong” is a joke until it isn’t, and you can definitely hold the iPhone X wrong.
That’s a small problem, though, and I think it’ll be easy to get used to. The other problem is actually much more interesting: almost all of the early questions about Face ID centered around how it would work in the dark, but it turns out that was exactly backwards. Face ID works great in the dark, because the IR projector is basically a flashlight, and flashlights are easy to see in the dark. But go outside in bright sunlight, which contains a lot of infrared light, or under crappy florescent lights, which interfere with IR, and Face ID starts to get a little inconsistent.
I took a walk outside our NYC office in bright sunlight, and Face ID definitely had issues recognizing my face consistently while I was moving until I went into shade or brought the phone much closer to my face than usual. I also went to the deli across the street, which has a wide variety of lights inside, including a bunch of overhead florescent strips, and Face ID also got significantly more inconsistent.
I’ve asked Apple about this, and I’ll update this review with their answers along with more detailed test results, but for now I’d say Face ID definitely works well enough to replace Touch ID, but not so well that you won’t run into the occasional need to try again.
Recent Apple products have tended to demand people adapt to them instead of being adapted to people, and it was hard not to think about that as I stood in the sunlight, waving a thousand-dollar phone ever closer to my face.
I’m collecting mate. f**k waiting for the delivery
