iPhone 16 & 16 Pro Preorder Tracking Thread

[Equil]

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... 

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

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

Is this anytime upgrade?

[marc00s]

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

[inspectorgadjet]

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.

[K4llum]

Did you get any confirmation email?

[Suroch]

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
