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.

Use the DPD website not the app and press the + icon in the bottom right corner to VIP.

I just received my DPD text. Had ordered 16 PM DT color on 13th, order went through on 14:32. Things are getting ahead. Just keep waiting, if you have ordered it on pre-order day 1 within a few hours, you should get the text too.

I ordered the 16PM 256GB in white at about 7pm on the 13th, order number came through at about 8pm on Sunday 15th (004095). 

I received a text from EE right after saying my order would be dispatched in more than 28 days, but I called up yesterday to ask if there would be a 28+ day wait like I was told and the lady on the phone said that is correct. I haven’t received any tracking notifications at all (and I wasn’t expecting to since I ordered the phone about 6 hours after it went on sale). 

What is the likelihood that I’ll get the phone within a month? Or are things looking better this year?

I got my DPD text at 7:20am this morning, contract updates and all that via text shortly after.

16 Pro 1TB, White Titanium.

No DPD text yet.

Ordered on 14th.

Received email today saying I can expect DPD text. Am I able to pick up the phone today??

[Madchemic43]

For those that received DPD text already, are you getting your phones today??

Hate to say it but that sounds like your order hasn’t actually been processed until Sunday night.   

I ordered at 9am on Monday morning and my order number is 00409582xx
