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.

Nope XD still says awaiting confirmation for estimated delivery, hopefully it will update next week, she did say over the phone I’d get it Friday and set the new contract to go live on Friday 20th

Small update.
EE have today agreed to waive the upgrade fee, so order now placed ! iPhone 16Pro, Black, 1TB on way, claiming launch day delivery.
i wonder whether they’ve had to do a rethink…

Offt, annoying. Yeah I called back at around 2:30pm to confirm order was on hold for 2hrs, it finally got my 00 number. So hopefully no delay, I wasn’t told of one anyways, it always seems to be the pro max that have delays.. in my personal experience that is.. don’t quote me..

Same time as this year. Pre-orders for EE go live the same time as Apple website. They’re not allowed to do it earlier.

I’m on an anytime upgrade and upgraded to the same for next year. I think they now call it ‘All Rounder’ so I’ll be able to upgrade again in a year time on this plan.

Yes and no, i believe it slightly different with the all rounder, as you have two different contracts and DDs, one for the phone one for the airline. My understanding of what I’ve read is yes we can upgrade anytime, however the amount still owed on the phone needs to be paid in full.

I think that’s the flex pay plan, there is a version of the all rounder which is one dd the same as previous years, seems they push the flex pay in the website very heavily but the ‘old style’ all rounder is still available if you order over the phone

Ah, I did call and order over the phone after ordering online and they certainly didn’t give me any option for a standard all rounder..

I’m on full works not a flex plan

Interesting. So no trade in on the old phone that clears the balance? It’s cool if it isn’t as I sold my 14 Pro Max last year instead of returning it and got more money for it. Will do the same this year.
