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.

I pre ordered the iPhone 16 pro max on Friday and still haven’t got any delivery update. Does any one know what sort of day they are expecting to be dispatched?

I tried to pre order on the 13th but there was "an issue with their systems" and was told somebody would call me back. This didn't happen. Pre-order ended up being finalized on the 17th. Had my order confirmation same day. Was told i'd have my new 16 PM Black today on Friday 20th. However nothing from DPD and when I track the order via EE order tracker its sat on Expected delivery date: Awaiting confirmation.

I would rather they didn't promise me a delivery today if they knew they couldn't fulfil orders. I don't mind waiting a few days just don't lie to me lol. I'm hearing rumours that if you didn't pre order on the 13th you wont be seeing your handset till mid October now.

Mine is due for delivery between 9:23 and 10:23 ☺️

Literally just received my delivery times and pins for both devices. PHEW. Should be here in the next two hours. Anxiety has dropped a bit now 😅

I think alot of the advisers confused "delivered from 20th" for "delivered on 20th "

See alot of people saying similar things and even I was told it would "definitely" be there on launch day, he said he could "guarantee" it.

But isn't happening.

I was told today, knowing full well they were lying originally ordered on the 14th pm white 256gb but he put the wrong plan through so had to re order on the 17th. Although the pros seem to be in stock with next day delivery on ee atm!

So placed my order for 1TB PM in DT at 1:45 on 13th and got a confirmation email minutes later.

As of yesterday morning they had been no update to my re tracking link so  thought to give CS a call to see if they had any other info. Took a few tries but I eventually got through to someone who was willing to help and who gave me the dpd tracking number as he could see it had been dispatched. He also noticed the dpd details listed a telephone number that wasn’t mine? I spoke to the delivery team who assured me it was correct and I’d receive a text tomorrow. 

Throughout the day my ee tracking link updated to order dispatched and I also received a flurry of emails from ee around price plan changes. I also kept my eye on the dpd tracking website and could see progress. 

Now this morning still no dpd texts and downloaded the dpd app but no incoming parcels recognised although the tracking online shows my phone is at the delivery depot. Called CS again and they just confirmed the number on the account was incorrect and had it changed. Phone is God willing coming today which is fab!

To anyone not getting anything from dpd but ee tracking shows as dispatched, I would give CS a call and see if anything similar has happened to you!

Best of luck all 🙂

 

I ordered the 16 plus haven't had any delivery dates
