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.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

I mean tbf its a high in demand phone with no doubt hundreads of thousands maybe millions of orders being processed. It was never going to be a flawless finish. It will come and youll appreciate it when it does. No point in putting to much focus in it for a situation beyond our control 😀

You're right, it's a high demand phone, which is why I pre-ordered about 2 hours after pre-orders went live, for that to go down the plug-hole like so-many other pre-orders have done, what's the point of pre-ordering, to only have it cancelled and have to join the queue much further down the line, just because they're incompetent?
What's the point of paying extra for Saturday delivery when the sales droid says they've put it on next day delivery because of the hassle, but unfortunately that doesn't cover weekends, to still have no update over a week later, with no means of order checking other than to call and listen to 45 minutes of god-awful music on hold?

I’ve only been with them a few years and I have been lucky to get one release day, I got the pro phone, but from looking at things they do seem to focus more on new customers than their loyal ones, I won’t be upgrading next year, I’ll wait till my 2 years is up as I couldn’t deal with what some people deal with every year
