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.

The EE rep also said I am able to upgrade for next year on the Full Works Plan. 


How will this work - I'm tempted to call them them up and ask even though i ordered via online.

 

Also i didnt get the TNT sports as add on choice - only apple one. anyone else?

Still refusing to waive my fee - I’m not going to beg or waste my time phoning and being on hold. I’ll wait for my contract to expire and move elsewhere… doubt they’ll miss me anyway 🤣

I got Xbox Gamepass Ultimate on mine.

Got into a call at 12:45 and at 1pm I spent 45mins arguing about waiving my fee. I rang earlier today and 2 days ago to confirm this wouldn't be an issue and a note was even left on my account to approve this. 

Then my call dropped just as he was processing it, so now I'm 48 minutes into a queue. 😩

I was on hold for 58 minutes, got through to somebody then - initially had an issue with the 100 early upgrade charge due to my plan not starting until october 10th (due to delivery delay 2023, then it was waived by manager - THEN manager wanted to quibble as it was the 13th and i ordered last year on the 15th - managed to battle that away though, completed the order 14:42

Now the waiting game begins

Finally speaking to someone. I've got two phones to upgrade. They are indeed waiving the fee for both so definitely worth calling back.

As someone else mentioned, you can get the Xbox extra...just ask them to put you on the Android full works plan and then you get access to the other extras.

The agent definitely confirmed for me that Upgrade Anytime is completely gone, but assured me there would probably be some kind of promotion next year anyway, so we'll see how that goes.

For some reason, I got charged £100... but it wasn't an early upgrade fee... the order confirmation shows some sort of Minute one bundle for £24.99 too... 😑
