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 am planning to do the same. I’ll give them until my case arrives, which ironically is also delayed lol but If I don’t hear anything from them by then I’ll cancel my order and get one directly from Apple to pick it up in store. It’s a shame though, since I was looking to move to EE. Looks like I’ll be staying with my current provider for now.
edit: ordered 27/09 Pro Max Dessert Titanium 256GB

People need to realise, especially those who have ordered in October, you will get told one thing but reality is, your phone is not coming for a good amount of time. Living on false promises, either set from the community or EE themselves will not help get your phone to you any sooner.
if you have no intention of waiting well over a month from your order date, I would suggest you look elsewhere because simply, that is the reality.
some people may get lucky and get there sooner, therefore providing a more positive outlook, however on the majority this is not the case.
In ordered on the 27th September - iPhone 16PM WT. I have been told so many different stories for EE I could write a book. I have finally given up after being told yesterday it could be another 28 days due to back order issues and no stock arriving, I have canceled and will go elsewhere.
Good luck. Honestly EE have been shocking and I will not be returning anytime soon.

So dpd turned up today! But I've not received a text with a pin. The driver tried to resend a pin from his device but I still didn't get it. So had to leave without delivering the phone!!

Ok so I know I’m very late to the party. I also I understand there is a long wait for the phone.
i ordered last week and the page is saying pre order confirmed. Is this normal for phone that is out now?

Has anyone successfully received a Iphone 16 Pro Max in White? & especially the 1TB? I pre-ordered on 13 Sept & it just delays after delays. Although, there's none in stock on Apple Store either. I've probably picked the colour most people want.
