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.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Had no movement on my tracker or any communication from EE since the order confirmation last Friday.
I had my order and everything boxed off by 1:50pm and from I can tell I was one of the earliest birds in this thread.
Starting to get a little worried 😕

When I placed my order EE called me at 1pm so my order when through pretty quick and I had my confirmation email with a 004 number at 1:16pm and yet no movement anywhere. Could come through at anytime now though.

Just been told - “
“Per checking the account I see order has been placed successfully for the iPhone 16 Pro 256GB Black Titanium, however, since it is a pre-order, it will be despatched from 20 September on the basis of first come, first served.”
then …
“Benjamin, orders will be despatched from 20th and once it is out of delivery, you will receive on the same day.”

Wouldn’t worry yet. I think the two people who’ve said they’ve seen movement are both store collection orders. If stores are starting to receive stock they’ll possibly just be scanning them in kicking off the notifications.
I think we’ll start to see more movement tomorrow. Last year I didn’t hear anything till the Thursday morning.

Cause they tell you what you want to hear to get you off the phone faster. Happens every year

I’ve placed mine online at 1:10 PM. Called them 5-10 min later just in case because it didnt mention anything about calling them back (like last year) and they told me i didnt need to confirm on the phone anything as i was pre verified.
Still Got “order confirmed” email next day and a text message that it’s going to be dispatched in 7 days (on Sat 14th).
I genuinely think DPD / EE are going to bombard us tomorrow morning / afternoon with messages. Probably not me but the others
