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.

Still waiting on mine!! To be fair I ordered mine on monday morning so might be a bit of a longer wait - I have my order number though got it soon as I placed the order

You can get a DPD notification all the way up till midnight tonight, that’s why normally if upgrade or start a new contract with the phone already in stock comes the next day, I’ve once got a DPD notification about tomorrow delivery at 10:30 at night, it all depends on how long it takes them to pick your order, woman on phone said to me that if you’ve still only got an XKO order number, just makes sure that your order has been successful by contacting them. As my upfront cost went onto my account credit and I thought the order had been cancelled due to this, but she said it’s because it’s a pre order and once the phone has been picked it will take the upfront payment from the account balance, also with XKO order numbers it means your phone is still waiting to get picked, once your phone has been picked you will receive an email with tracking number and text from DPD

A few people suggested if one had got an order confirmation email within 2-3 hours of pre-orders opening there’s a higher chance of a release day delivery! I had my order confirmation received via email at 2:30pm. 

DPD have collected my device so I assume - delivery tomorrow 🤞🏾

Watch on the other hand - not a scobbie when that is turning up

The person I’ve just spoken to at EE on the chat said it’s possible up to 11am the day of delivery! Never had it be the same day but that’s what they said!

are you thiking of changing the order at all? as i am really contemplating it or cancelling. 28 days is way to long man.

I ordered my natural grey PM 256gb on the same day as you, ordered and got my order confirmation at 7:26pm that evening. I got a text at around 11am today from DPD to say they've received it from EE. 

Hopefully yours follows👍

See I order mine before that and got nothing, suppose to be automatic but seems but random, guess its all down to colour and storage supply
