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.

If you keep checking the DPD app, it will say “we have received your order details from EE” the day before your phone is scheduled to be delivered. You should receive your phone the following day. According to Apple, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is the only phone currently experiencing a slight delay in shipping. The iPhone 16 Plus is expected to be delivered tomorrow. Keep checking the DPD app; it will notify you before anyone else confirms the delivery. Hopefully you receive your phone tomorrow 🤞

Yes I just got told I’ll receive a DPD notification tomorrow morning (20th) if it’s going to be delivered tomorrow). Rather annoying as I got old I would get it tomorrow when I placed the order and it’s not looking promising but I booked day off work so I was going to be in, so that sucks! Fingers crossed still though.

yeah im gunna speak to them today and try and get a different loop. not going to wait ages for it when i can grab it or add to as a joint crhistmas present or something.

Come on DPD 😄

[Con25]

Ah, I understand now. Last night, I received a notification indicating that I would receive a delivery date for my phone. This morning, I received another notification stating that it will be delivered on the 20th. I hope you receive your phone tomorrow (the 20th). However, there are several delays, as reported by Apple. Apparently, some people won’t receive their phones until the middle of October. Hopefully, that won’t be the case for you.

DPD text with pin arrived at 13.04. VIP'ed it to 8-12 tomorrow.

Ordered 16 Pro Max in Desert Titanium 256gb on 13th at around 4pm via the app. Only ever had XKO number that wasn't trackable and didn't get any texts from EE either.

I have DPD tracking for my headphones, but not my Ultra 2 with milanese loop - still says expected delivery 20 September though so fingers crossed.

I was one of those pushed to the back of the queue after having an xko number - now expecting my phone 10-17 Oct from Apple.

give them a call and see the progress - this is the exact issue i previously had and was told i had no order with them so had to submit another one with an agent on the phone
