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.

I ordered the exact same phone as you on the same date, had my dpd notification yesterday so i got excited thinking it was my phone but i had the delivery today and it was just a phone case and screen protector. have your tracking details updated?

 I ordered the. iPhone 16 Pro max in White Titanium 256GB. 
Ordered mid September. 
I called today. Update on the phone from EE was. 
The  iPhone white 16PM is the most out of stock colour, especially the 256GB model. Even apple don’t have the stock of them ones. She gave a bleak outlook so I don’t expect the phone anytime soon. She put the full ownus onto apple.
The agent did suggest I cancel and order and re order a different colour which may get here sooner. (21says).  I said, would that be any quicker as I would be at the back of the que. she said, probably. So the white iPhone 16 PM seem a real issue now. EE just simply don’t have them and sound like neither do apple. If that’s the phone you have ordered, errm not sure what to suggest, but it’s not coming anytime soon imo

I have the white 1 tb 16 pro max…..i ordered on pre order day and didn’t receive mine till last Thursday for some reason the white appears to be very popular but then so do all the others. I was astounded to see that the 1tb which used to be left till last but for some unknown reason it’s not now.

i suspect apple as usual either didn’t anticipate the demand or have had a supply issues which impacted Ee and others (please don’t think I am making excuses)

ee like all other networks rely on apple allocating stock but IMHO it’s a pretty poor show from apple

It’s not updated 😫 no point sending case and screen protector and no phone. My first and maybe last time upgrading with EE. I’ve been on sim only for years and loved it but the lack of communication with everything is a joke!

Been kind of in same  Situation as everyone else I went into an EE store on the 20th of September was told with in 28 days so I don't mind the wait,  Got really excited today when I was told a dpd parcel was coming only to find out that it was a Case and screen detectors like a lot of other people so I called to ye we all Know how fun that is a great bloke went through to dpd and he advised me that my phone itself will actually be Here by Friday and Don't take any notice of the order tracker because it's had that many orders Go through it broken so fingers crossed

JUST HAD MY DPD TEXT!!!!!

if it’s the screen protector and a case I’ll lose my **bleep** 😂

[charalysia]

that’s what i thought earlier lol, why a screen protector and case but no phone?

HOWEVER i have received another DPD notification this evening and a text with a code!! so MIGHT be tomorrow🤞🏼

by the sounds of it you might be a day behind me so if your phone case comes tomorrow your phone might be friday!!🤞🏼🤞🏼

[Dazpiedpiper]

Does it say a pin with it ? If not ifs just the case but good news is that's means your phone is not far behind I ordered pro max 256 in DT on 20th of sep and I got the case today and while writing this got another dpd text saying another package is coming tomorrow and I need to give the driver a pin so hopefully this means they have stock in and we all should be happier soon

[PJN11]

Yeah it’s got a pin. I ordered a DT 256gb on the 21st! So sounds likely. 

[Dazpiedpiper]

That's the phone then buddy 😀😀😀😀
