Is everyone’s tracking saying awaiting dispatch on the tracking page? Mine is but still no DPD text etc

I ordered my iPhone 18 Pro Max 256GB in Burgundy on 2 October, and I’m still waiting for it to be dispatched. The original estimate was 18 days, and the countdown eventually reached just 3 days, but then I was told there would be a delay with no confirmed date.

What makes this even more frustrating is that my friend ordered the same phone around 16 days after me and has already received theirs, while my order is still waiting.

I understand that stock can be limited, but how are later orders being fulfilled before earlier ones? Is EE prioritising orders based on stock availability for each colour and storage size, or is there another reason?

Has anyone else experienced this, or can an EE representative explain what’s happening with these orders?

So where do I stand lol? Ordered at 13:42, got an XKO number but 27 hours later it processed. Original XKO number stayed in tact but it confirmed properly on the Saturday at 4pm lol

iPhones do not get shipped via container so that is a bit crazy for that person to say it.  
I ordered a couple of minutes after 1pm and I am getting it tomorrow.  

I feel the order process does need to be made a bit clearer, got a text saying I had documents and I couldn't see them and the whole time the order status including now doesn't show anything.  

There is obviously a bit of a disconnect between the ordering and dispatching system, improving this would improve confidence. 

As for apps any which are a universal SwiftUI iPad/iOS app should look great when it is built using the 27.2 SDK, and most iPhone apps will not have the bars when built with that SDK also

UPDATE:

Tracking has updated

Your order is on hand. Check back later for your delivery date

Your order is in hand. 

‘in hand’ another vague term. Do you think this means a device physically in hand or the order in general?

Knowing EE, probably means Apple has started making it in Foxconn
