iPhone 16 & 16 Pro Preorder Tracking Thread

Equil — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 05:16:06 GMT

Hello Again.
After last years MONUMENTAL thread became the second most popular thread on the entire website, (Over 400k views & 6k replies) I thought I'd make another for this years iPhone release.

Just like last year let's use this thread purely for Tracking Preorders and any related discussion around it.

You can find a general discussion thread here: https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/td-p/1434743

Last year was a mess for EE, Let's hope things are different this year.

Me too - although, I can see their being issues, my anytime upgrade fee from last year is showing as £100… this is gonna cause issues no doubt.

looks like since they’ve removed it, they’re gonna stop us upgrading without paying..

Have they really finished the annual upgrade program? Wonder why

Mines showing £300 🤣🤣🤣

I suspect they’ll have a lot of people placing orders then phoning to get the fee waved. I sometimes feel like they create these problems for themselves

Yeah - mine too.

two lines one a pro - £100, and a pro max - £300.

One part of me is like, yeah they’ll be fine it has been every year, the other part of me is - this is EE, they’ve just removed anytime upgrade on new plans

What time was it available last year?

Does anyone know what happens with these new plans if you’re intending to get a new Apple Watch 10? The new top end plans come with data for your watch included, so what happens if I add a new watch as well? Do I end up with an extra data plan I don’t need?

Here's this years tracking spreadsheet.
This year users will populate their own entries and also adjust delivery information themselves.

They're refusing to waive the early upgrade fee this year. 😡

Is this anytime upgrade?

Re: iPhone 16 & 16 Pro Preorder Tracking Thread

marc00s — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 12:22:27 GMT

Ordered by 10 past on anytime upgrade. Way smoother order experience than last year so far personally

No confirmation email yet - got through 1:09pm.

DD confirmed via email though

Ordered online and got the confirmation xko and the usual "we need to confirm some details, please call" so now holding. Had to pay £300 though despite last year my order not being processed and having to re-order a month later and not getting the phone until November (ordered on release day as every year). Only the last 2 years ordering has been horrendous

yes

I went to add my entry but I've not got any emails to confirm my order. Deposit came out bank and have an order number from the upgrade page.

Did you get any confirmation email?

Re: iPhone 16 & 16 Pro Preorder Tracking Thread

Suroch — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 12:41:52 GMT

Nothing on email, just a confirmation of order page, money came out the bank. For some reason the last 2 years I have gotten "we need to confirm some details, please call" after each online order, never had that issue and for years have done online upgrades
