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 just got my case and screen protector for both of the 16 pro max today 😅

lets hope for the best!

My order number doesn’t begin with “XKO” it just is a number starting from 0040. Is that a problem?

Hello All

I have a confirmed update to share.  Just quickly recap I have ordered directly from Apple within 8 mins of pre orders going live on Fri 13th. 

iPhone 16 pro max 1TB White Titanium - Delivery expected 20th Sept (Launch Day) 

iPhone 16 pro max 1TB Black Titanium - Delivery expected 25th - 30th Sept 

Latest Update 

My best mate works for Apple UK HQ in Cork Ireland and  they have had 4.5 million iPhones delivered during the weekend and these are scheduled to be distributed via their logistics network to mobile networks (He actually works on EE and Curry’s contract) so he is knowledgable on movements etc. He claims EE will receive 1.25 million today and tomorrow and Curry’s 500,000

The remaining 2.75 million devices are shipped to Apple distribution hubs via fed-ex for Apple stores and internet sales 

we’re getting there 🤞

Call up ee sales team they’ll confirm your order and you’ll get an order number starting 004

Had a manager call me back yesterday and sorted out the issues but the upgrade system was down when they called.  Someone called me back before 9am this morning and I’ve finally managed to complete the order.  

if I see the phone by the end of the month though I’ll be astonished if last year is anything to go by.

I have just been on phone to change the model I ordered. I now ordered the PM 256 in white, despite website stating within 21 days, guide told me to expect it on Friday.

Hopefully it does come this week but I’m not expecting it to following last years debacle.   I’m just happy I’ve finally managed to get it ordered after the carry on over the last few days.  

[CakeMonster]

Hopefully my order is in there and on its way to the EE Store for collection on Friday.

Although my ordering process was frustrating as I had to wait 40 mins for an advisor even though the people ahead of me were not iPhone orderers. So I have no idea where I am on the list.

I feel like my phone case turning up before I’m even sure when my phone will is just cruel 😂
