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.

Just had a text from DPD saying expecting to receive a parcel from EE for me doesn't state when it will be delivered ordered on the 15th iPhone 16 pro max 256gb. On the order tracking it said expected delivery date was between 4th-8th October so coming much earlier 🤞people still waiting for the text or update from EE or DPD it comes through today

 It hasn’t updated on the order tracker but it has sent me a text and it’s on the DPD App

Just had my text from DPD 

16 pro max DT 256gb ordered on the 15th 

[XJ03YXJ]

Yes also ordered on the 13th. Was quite late though to the order party as didn’t pre order until about 5pm ish 

[XJ03YXJ]

My guess is they are working through another pallet of delivery from suppliers so it could still come and get a text this afternoon/ evening

So what happens next year then . Anytime upgrade has been discontinued. So is it a case of paying off the handset plan or doing it via trade in ?

[Audiquattro]

Don’t quote me but i suspect if you have existing plan you can keep it but hey the is Ee so who knows ……am on phone waiting to speak to them so I will ask the question that’s when I get through 😡
