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 on 15th September - my email still says it isn’t dispatched. Had no time frame for delivery, text from DPD yesterday and arrived today. Confirmation has still not updated

Agree - when I done mine the person from upgrades said to me its 4 weeks from that day of upgrading so when we worked it out it would be around 14th October and onwards 

But my partner has just phoned to do her upgrade and she asked about the wait time and the agent very blunt said to her “We aren’t getting thousands of phones in just coming in drips and drabs” but on the other went “You know in the EU EE was the biggest pre order seller”

I have just spoken to Ee and like yours and mine they have no idea when we will get the phone saying 28 days delivery from date of order

i raised the point also that preorders are a waste of time if others that are buying after the preorder date and are receiving theirs before the preorders  ……makes a total mockery of preordering imho . 
Am not a happy bunny as I have been an Ee customer since it was orange

Sounds like you spoke to the person my partner spoke to🤣 

But it’s pointless having a pre order system, pretty sure with any type of pre order they would have the the ability to control how many orders they can take! 

I looked on the website Tuesday and they moved the BT 512GB back to pre order and then today it’s updated to shipped more than 28 days so clearly they know they have stock coming!

Hahahaha at least we have something in common 😂

That's awesome!

would be a nice surprise to have a random DPD text before I'm expecting it. But at the same time I'm not in a rush!

[Tom119944]

Wouldn’t mind when I ordered mine they said to me you can have it delivered to store for free or home delivery for £6.98! So have to wait now for DPD to deliver it to a store and the store to process it!

Finally received my DPD text this evening! Ordered on the 15th iPhone 16 PM DT 512gb 😍 tracking still shows up as 04 Oct - 08 Oct and has not moved at all.  What time does DPD deliver on Sundays? Unfortunately am on a holiday so would have to resched at least by Sunday this week.

They’re an absolute waste of space!! This time they’ve done the flex pay for the phone and airtime is on a 1 month rolling contract the day it FINALLY turns up I’m giving my 30 days notice and going to Vodafone!! 
in my house I pull 1MBPS on EE with voda I can get 480 

They seem to triumph them in every way

DPD TEXT HAS ARRIVVVEEEDDDDDDD

Ordered 16 Pro Max 256gb desert t on the morning of 17th Sept. EE tracking hasn’t updated yet but from others it does appear that the EE tracker is slower. 

GL to others who ordered around the same date 🤞
