In reality pre-order day was 364-days after last pre-order day. I on the other hand was asked for £300! &nbsp;I put this down to me upgrading a 1TB 15PM to the same for 16PM. Her PM was the 256GB version, and her 16 PM, delivered yesterday btw, was the 256GB.<BR /><BR />So I had a phone call in play, + an order ready to purchase online, + the online chat going, the later being how I ordered my 16PM. &nbsp;I really would have preferred to speak to someone because of the £300, but in the end I paid the £300 so at least I could get the 16PM on release day. &nbsp;How disappointed was I… very!!<BR /><BR />My wife had the same email that we both had last pre-order day that stated there was a problem with her order, which was just a little deflating for her, and now I had my order in place. &nbsp;She had to wait over an hour to speak to someone but then did and the order was completed, and evidenced by the arrival of the device yesterday, was really completed.<BR /><BR />Having read this thread and. some of the horror stories on here where orders were taken then mysteriously disappeared for the customer to be told they were now at the back of the queue fills me with dread. &nbsp;Do I make that call to only be filled with regret from what EE Customer Support tell me, or do I just sit there and watch the order tracker fail to get past first base?<BR /><BR />Well I am not going to do that so I will just have to man up and call EE with fingers-crossed.<BR /><BR />I did this last year by the way, several times, and each agent had a different excuse as to why the 15 PM was delayed. In fact I think this has happened on several previous occasions.</P> Sat, 21 Sep 2024 06:30:18 GMT tomagion 2024-09-21T06:30:18Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434743#M77364 <P>Hello everyone in the ee community it’s that time again of the year placing and tracking the new iPhone 16 and 16 pro max’s orders and especially since a few years with delay issues with ee <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":face_with_tears_of_joy:">😂</span> and then ringing them up and patiently waiting for that DPD notification I love this time of the year, so everyone I have created this thread and everyone stay posted in this thread don’t follow any other thread keep this one running guys if we keep each other updated then hopefully we get the iPhone this year on time on release day.</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 15:51:40 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434743#M77364 King-Boss 2024-09-09T15:51:40Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434815#M77367 <P>When is the release day of the iPhone 16</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 17:07:56 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434815#M77367 Pat1285 2024-09-09T17:07:56Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434820#M77369 <P><a href="https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4527268">@Pat1285</a>&nbsp; The device hasn’t even been shown at the apple event yet as that’s tomorrow and as yet there is no official release day. &nbsp; &nbsp; In fact there is no such device as a iPhone 16 until apple announce it. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; At a guess pre orders might be Friday. &nbsp;<BR /><BR /></P> <P>&nbsp;Absolutely hilarious that a post about this has been created and then requesting everyone to only comment on this one thread. &nbsp; Talk about self importance. &nbsp;</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 17:15:07 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434820#M77369 Chris_B 2024-09-09T17:15:07Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434826#M77370 <P>no "self importance" having one thread makes it easier for everyone. and this happens every year, also you are incorrect, the apple event is today and pre order date will be announced shortly.</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 17:22:02 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434826#M77370 jordanwallxce 2024-09-09T17:22:02Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434828#M77371 <P>The event is today...?&nbsp;</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 17:23:02 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434828#M77371 vpatel2708 2024-09-09T17:23:02Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434830#M77372 <P>yes, it is live right now</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 17:23:42 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434830#M77372 jordanwallxce 2024-09-09T17:23:42Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434847#M77373 <P>God help us lol <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":face_with_tears_of_joy:">😂</span> when can we preorder ?&nbsp;</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 17:38:19 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434847#M77373 Melxx2020 2024-09-09T17:38:19Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434856#M77374 <P>potentially september 13th, just wait until they announce on keynote. nobody knows 100% yet.</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 17:43:06 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434856#M77374 jordanwallxce 2024-09-09T17:43:06Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Orders/Iphone-16-pro-16-pro-max-pre-order-thread-that-time-of-the-year/m-p/1434865#M77375 <P>Hopefully it sooner then Friday but for.
