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.

It seems the upgrade fee being waived is on a very discretionary basis guys. If you call up to upgrade just keep pushing. 

[inspectorgadjet]

So far aren't you the only who has said you've had the fee waived?

[Equil]

I guess we'll see next year *shrug*

[Equil]

no there's been others, in this thread and the general thread linked in the OP. 

*CORRECTION* Nobody in this thread has had their fee waived. But they have in the other thread linked above. 
Sorry I'm flicking between both threads and got mixed up.

The adivsor has just phoned me back to tell me they are now waiving that £100 upgrade fee if you have had the phone for 10 months or more! Must have had a lot of abandoned calls over it lol

I got my early upgrade fee waived too. Have done every year.

The EE rep also said I am able to upgrade for next year on the Full Works Plan. 

Although I have no idea where the in the queue I will be for a 512 PM Black. Call ended at 13:11  confirmation email 13:13.

Watching this thread.

Definitely great news if true, but now I just need them to answer the phone...been waiting on hold for just over an hour now because I decided to try calling back.

Just keep pushing them mate, you'll get it sorted. Good luck and let us know.
